Popular music is an area where gender, especially femininity, is performed in both subversive and problematic ways, and where women’s contributions are regularly undervalued or simply go unwritten. Structured around four in-depth case studies, Nathalie Weidhase explores music videos as a space in popular culture where politics of the feminine can be articulated, and a space in which female pop stars can be valued as artists with distinct contributions to the field of popular music. Each case study sheds light on different aspects of the postfeminist dandy in popular music. Amy Winehouse makes visible the commodification of the female spectacle in popular culture; Rihanna performs black femininity as postfeminism’s abject Other; Lady Gaga queers monstrous motherhood and celebrates female musical lineage; and Lana del Rey demonstrates how whiteness works as a canvas for postfeminist and postracial fantasies and their deconstruction. The theoretical insights regarding female dandyism developed through the case studies are further explored in the subsequent chapters, where other female artists are also considered.
Nathalie Weidhase is Lecturer in Media and Communication at the University of Surrey, UK. She has published on women in popular music and celebrity feminism in the journal Celebrity Studies, as well as in the collection Women, Celebrity and Cultures of Ageing: Freeze Frame (2015).
