release notes/summary (backcover information)

this fresh and innovative study, Judith A.
Peraino investigates how music has been used
throughout history to call into question norms
of gender and sexuality. Beginning with a close
examination of the mythology surrounding the
sirens--whose music seduced Ulysses into a
state of mind in which he would gladly
sacrifice everything for the illicit pleasures
promised in their song--Peraino goes on to
consider the musical creatures, musical gods and
demigods, musical humans, and music-addled
listeners who have been associated with
behavior that breaches social conventions. She
deftly employs a sophisticated reading of
Foucault as an organizational principle as
well as a philosophical focus to survey
seductive and transgressive queerness in
music from the Greeks through the Middle Ages
and to the contemporary period. Listening to
the Sirens analyzes the musical ways in which
queer individuals express and discipline their
desire, represent themselves, build communities,
and subvert heterosexual expectations. It covers
a wide range of music including medieval songs,
works by Handel, Tchaikovsky and Britten,
women's music and disco, performers such as Judy
Garland, Melissa Etheridge, Madonna, and Marilyn
Manson, and the movies The Rocky Horror Picture
Show and Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
