Description
Exploring the intersection of popular music and social critique, "Sexing Elvis" by Sue Wise offers a unique analysis of rebellion and deviance in the context of rock and pop culture.
This sociological study draws on key theoretical frameworks, including semiotic and feminist readings, to examine the ways in which music reflects and shapes societal attitudes towards identity and expression.
Through close readings of stars, bands, and fans, Wise sheds light on the complex relationships between technology, subculture, and power in the music industry.
