Download or read book Glitter Up the Dark written by Sasha Geffen and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has music so often served as an accomplice to transcendent expressions of gender? Why did the query "is he musical?" become code, in the twentieth century, for "is he gay?" Why is music so inherently queer? For Sasha Geffen, the answers lie, in part, in music’s intrinsic quality of subliminal expression, which, through paradox and contradiction, allows rigid gender roles to fall away in a sensual and ambiguous exchange between performer and listener. Glitter Up the Dark traces the history of this gender fluidity in pop music from the early twentieth century to the present day. Starting with early blues and the Beatles and continuing with performers such as David Bowie, Prince, Missy Elliot, and Frank Ocean, Geffen explores how artists have used music, fashion, language, and technology to break out of the confines mandated by gender essentialism and establish the voice as the primary expression of gender transgression. From glam rock and punk to disco, techno, and hip-hop, music helped set the stage for today’s conversations about trans rights and recognition of nonbinary and third-gender identities. Glitter Up the Dark takes a long look back at the path that led here.

Download or read book Gospel Glitter Learning to Shine in the Darkness written by Lindsay Corbett and published by Trilogy Christian Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-14 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of the light of truth, hope, and faith discovered even in the midst of dark and hopeless circumstances. The heavy darkness of sadness, loneliness, infertility, suffering, and even grief cannot compare with the light of truth found only in Jesus Christ. Gospel Glitter represents the light of the Gospel and how such tiny appearing sparkles have the potential of shining brighter together and providing hope to the hopeless and strength to the weak. Emotional turmoil related to hardships of life, trauma, or suffering may leave you feeling hopeless, but allowing God's Word to be illuminated leaves His Word having the final say. In a world of darkness, let the Gospel of Jesus Christ be the shining evidence of His restoration and redemption power. Knowing the Word of God can shed light on the darkest nights of our lives. Also, it allows us to know the heart of our Creator, a loving God, whose plans are greater than anything we could ever plan on our own. My prayer is that the light of the Gospel will reveal a strategy to you and combat the emotional consequences of hardship in life.
