Produktbeschreibung
The book is about the multiple meanings and instances of masks (and makeup which seems to have a mask-like function such as in Kiss, many black metal bands, and Insane Clown Posse) within popular culture, specifically films and music. While mainly focusing on the Western contexts, there will also be examples from other regions and cultural contexts such as Japan and Korea. Each chapter offers an in-depth analysis of a particular work(s) or artist/band rather than just name dropping mainstream and obscure work that many scholars, unfortunately, do. The study in its entirety belongs to cultural studies and the interpretive sciences. The target audience consists of other academic researchers, students and the broader audience of people who are interested in film and music (e.g., fans).
