This book is a multi-faceted, interdisciplinary examination of the
music and figure of Lady Gaga, combining approaches from scholars
in cultural studies, art, fashion, and music. It represents one of
the first scholarly volumes devoted to Lady Gaga, who has become,
over a few short years, central to both popular (and, indeed,
populist) as well as more scholarly thought in these areas and who,
the contributors argue, is helping to shape-directly and
indirectly-thought and culture both in the fields of the
"scholarly" and the "everyday." Lady Gaga's output is firmly
embedded in a self-consciously intellectual pop culture tradition,
and her music videos are intertextually linked to icons of pop
culture intelligentsia like Alfred Hitchcock and open to multiple
interpretations. In examining her music and figure, this volume
contributes both to debates on the status of intertextuality, held
in tension with originality, and to debates on the figuring of the
sexualized female body, and representations of disability. There is
interest in these issues from a wide range of disciplines: popular
musicology, film studies, queer studies, women's studies, gender
studies, disability studies, popular culture studies, and the
burgeoning sub-discipline of aesthetics and philosophy of fashion.
