Madonna is perhaps one of the most consistently transgressive and
self-transforming artists of the late 20th and early 21st
centuries. The recent release of two critically acclaimed and
best-selling albums and a sold-out world tour have renewed media
and academic interest in the artist. Madonna presents a set of
strikingly new challenges to cultural analysis, and new
developments in Gender, Queer and Ethnic studies have shed more
light on her entire oeuvre. Whilst the contributors do refer to
classic cultural theorists such as Baudrillard, Zizek, Foucault and
Barthes, new theoretical approaches to Madonna's work feature
prominently. In view of this, the present volume offers new
perspectives on Madonna's work to date, addressing her
configurations of race, gender and sex(uality) and with special
emphasis on her resurrection after the Sex backlash in the early
1990s. The collection focuses on new Madonna-related topics such as
Hinduism, Judaism, Japanese culture, All-American culture, Queer
culture, Motherhood and her influence on newer 'girl acts' such as
the Spice Girls and Britney Spears. The book explores the themes of
gender, sexuality, ethnicity and celebrity consumption through the
lens of Madonna's songs, videos and shows. An international array
of scholars portrays Madonna's popularisation of the notion that
identity is not fixed and can be continuously rearranged and
revamped. The book should have wide appeal for all those concerned
with gender studies, cultural studies, ethnic studies, lesbian and
gay musicology as well as popular music studies.
