Sobre IBD

Who are pop dandies? Why are stars like David Bowie, Jarvis Cocker and Robbie Williams so dandified? Taking up a range of British pop stars, Hawkins seeks to find out why so many British pop stars have cast themselves in roles that often take style to absurd extremes. In this study, male pop artists are mapped against a cultural and historical background through a genealogy of British personalities, such as Oscar Wilde, W.H. Auden, Bernard Shaw, NoÃl Coward, Derek Jarmen, David Beckham and countless others. A critical analysis of issues and approaches to musical performance through masculinity becomes the focal point of this fascinating study.
