![]() ![]() ![]() This module will introduce some of the key ideas in LGBTQ studies and queer theory, and use these to critically examine songs and genres, and their historical and social contexts, with an aim not only to understand the contexts of the individual songs, but a larger queer narrative in popular music. For a musicologist, it provides an invaluable window into what these norms are, and how queer narratives emerge and subvert them. Popular music, with its expansive definition and far-reaching audience, is a force for expressing queerness, creating and reinforcing norms, or sometimes all three. This module looks at various modes of queerness in popular music, examining them from historical and critical perspectives. ![]() Module co-ordinator: Mx James Redelinghuys. ![]()
