| Abstract | This culturally sensitive re-reading of the life, image and music of David Bowie offers a detailed understanding of his importance to modern times. The story of David Bowie involves questions of commodification, youth culture, history, individualization, racism, and gender and sexual politics. Yet this is also a tale of ambiguity and pleasurable confusion. Among the many talents of David Bowie has been his ability to capture through popular culture key contradictions of the modern era. Through the interpretation of images, music, text, and interviews with many Bowie fans, this book seeks to unravel some of the mystery that continues to surround the bohemian prince of pop. |
