In Pop Masculinities, author Kai Arne Hansen investigates the
performance and policing of masculinity in pop music as a starting
point for grasping the broad complexity of gender and its politics
in the early twenty-first century. Drawing together perspectives
from critical musicology, gender studies, and adjacent scholarly
fields, the book presents extended case studies of five well-known
artists: Zayn, Lil Nas X, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and Take That.
By directing particular attention to the ambiguities and
contradictions that arise from these artists' representations of
masculinity, Hansen argues that pop performances tend to operate in
ways that simultaneously reinforce and challenge gender norms and
social inequalities. Providing a rich exploration of these murky
waters, Hansen merges the interpretation of recorded song and music
video with discourse analysis and media ethnography in order to
engage with the full range of pop artists' public identities as
they emerge at the intersections between processes of performance,
promotion, and reception. In so doing, he advances our
understanding of the aesthetic and discursive underpinnings of
gender politics in twenty-first century pop culture and encourages
readers to contemplate the sociopolitical implications of their own
musical engagements as audiences, critics, musicians, and scholars.
