| Opplysninger | Introduction : Means of Expression and Reception in Poetic Texts -- The Musical Expression of Identity in Terms of Biological Sex; The Self in Physiology and Psychology -- Gendered Identity -- Sexuality : Sexual Orientation -- Pop/Rock Erotics -- A Braniac Amour : Command, Surrender and Improvisation in Patti Smith's "Land.". - Following the 1960's sexual revolution, rock and pop have continued to map the societal understanding of sexuality, feminism, and gender studies. Although scholarship has well established how early rock and roll encouraged and affected issues of sex in the baby boomer generation, this book asks how subsequent pop music has maintained that tradition.The text discusses the gendered performances and biographical experiences of individual musicians, including Patti Smith, Rufus Wainwright, Etta James, and Frank Ocean, and how their invented personae contribute to musical representations of sexuality. It evaluates lyric structure and symbolic language of these artists, and overall emphasizes how pop music, while a commodity art form, reflects the diversity of human sex and gender. --
