/David Bowie: Critical Perspectives/ examines in detail the many layers
of one of the most intriguing and influential icons in popular culture.
This interdisciplinary book brings together established and emerging
scholars from a wide variety of backgrounds, including musicology,
sociology, art history, literary theory, philosophy, politics, film
studies and media studies. Bowie’s complexity as a singer, songwriter,
producer, performer, actor and artist demands that any critical
engagement with his overall work must be interdisciplinary and
wide-ranging in its scope. The chapters are organised around the key
themes of ‘textualities’, ‘psychologies’, ‘orientalisms’, ‘art and
agency’ and ‘performing and influencing’ in Bowie’s work. This
comprehensive book contributes a great deal to the study of popular
music, performance, gender, religion, popular media and celebrity.
