PJ Harvey's performances are premised on the core contention that
she is somehow causing 'trouble'. Just how this trouble can be
theorised within the context of the music video and what it means
for a development of the ways we might conceptualise 'disruption'
and think about music video lies at the heart of this book. Abigail
Gardner mixes feminist theory and critical models from film and
video scholarship as a rich means of interrogating Harvey's work
and redefining her disruptive strategies. The book presents a
rethinking of the masquerade that allies it to cultural memory,
precipitated by Gardner's claim that Harvey's performances are
conversations with the past, specifically with visualised memories
of archetypes of femininity. Harvey's masquerades emerge from her
conversations and renegotiations with both national and
transatlantic musical, visual and lyrical heritages. It is the
first academic book to present analysis of Harvey's music videos
and opens up fresh avenues into exploring what is at stake in the
video work of one of Britain's premier singer-songwriters. It
extends the discussion on music video to consider how to make sense
of the rapidly developing digital environment in which it now sits.
The interdisciplinary nature of the book should attract readers
from a range of subject areas including popular music studies,
cultural studies, media and communication studies, and gender
studies.
