Clampdown - Pop-cultural wars on class and gender Paperback / softback
by Rhian Jones
Paperback / softback
Description
Why have both pop and politics in Britain become the preserve of an unrepresentative elite?
From chav-pop pantomimes to retro-chauvinist 'landfill indie', the bland, homogenous and compromised nature of the current 'alternative' sector reflects the interests of a similarly complacent and privileged political establishment.
In particular, political and media policing of female social and sexual autonomy, through the neglected but significant gendered dimensions of the discourse surrounding 'chavs', has been accompanied by a similar restriction and regulation of the expression of working-class femininity in music.
This book traces the progress of this cultural clampdown over the past twenty years.
