Música, género, sexualidades: Musical Trouble... After Butler

“The need to observe social reality through the lens of gender expanded with the growing awareness of the invisibility that had been maintained over a broad domain of knowledge within academic practice. The multiplication of perspectives rooted in gender has intensified, particularly since the 1990s, contributing, among other factors, to the exposure of behaviours and narratives that had long been normalised, as well as aspects of unequal power distribution. [...] Throughout the chapters, a questioning emerges that interrelates frameworks of gender and sexuality in a complex web of relationships associated with musical practice as a social context, human action, and the understanding and production of reality and the world.”
