Exploring and celebrating individual lives in diverse situations,
Women Singers in Global Contexts is a new departure in the study of
women's worldwide music-making. Ten unique women constitute the
heart of this volume: each one has engaged her singing voice as a
central element in her life, experiencing various opportunities,
tensions, and choices through her vocality. These biographical and
poetic narratives demonstrate how the act of vocalizing embodies
dynamics of representation, power, agency, activism, and
risk-taking. Engaging with performance practice, politics, and
constructions of gender through vocality and vocal aesthetics, this
collection offers valuable insights into the experiences of
specific women singers in a range of sociocultural contexts.
Contributors trace themes and threads that include childhood,
families, motherhood, migration, fame, training, transmission,
technology, and the interface of private lives and public
identities.
