| Summary |
Annotation A pathbreaking study of the women who create electronic dance music, Beyond the Dance Floorfocuses on the largely neglected relationship between these women and the conceptions of gender and technology that continue to inform the male-dominated culture surrounding electronic music. In this volume, Rebekah Farrugia explores a number of important issues, including the politics of identity and representation, the bonds formed by women within the DJ community, and the role female DJs and producers play in this dance music culture as well as in the larger public sphere. Though Farrugia primarily focuses on womens relationship to music-related technologiesincluding vinyl, mp3s, and digital production softwareshe also deftly extends her argument to the strategic use of the Internet and web design skills for purposes tied to publicity, networking, and music distribution |
