The career of the prolific pop artist Prince has become
inextricably intertwined with the history of popular music since
the late 1970s. This multi-instrumental icon, who remains one of
the highest-grossing live performers in America, has been called a
genius for his musicianship, composition and incredible
performances. But Prince holds iconic status for more than his
music. Best known for his racial blurring and extravagant sexual
persona, Prince's music and visual iconography has always chimed
with the ambiguity of subjectivity at any given moment. 'Prince'
the sign offers a space for fans to evaluate and reconfigure their
attitudes towards their own identities, and towards their position
as subjects within the socio-cultural sphere. This much-needed
interdisciplinary analysis is the first of its kind to examine
critically Prince's popular music, performances, sounds, lyrics and
the plethora of accompanying visual material such as album covers,
posters, fashions, promotional videos and feature films.
Specifically, the book explores how and why he has played such a
profoundly meaningful and significant role in his fans' lives.
