This course investigates issues of gender/sexuality in queer music performance, participation, listening, and learning practices. Examining musical implications of Judith Butler's theory of gender performativity, we take up in relationship to music, issues, and topics central to queer theory, such as norms and normativity; identities and dis-identifications; bodies, matter, and mattering; time, temporality, and collective movement; queer of colour critique, assemblages, and intersectionalities. Students use methods of analysis appropriate to their expertise and experience (cultural, musical, educational, performer-based) to research queer music genres and scenes of popular (broadly defined) and concert music cultures.
