Persisting across metal’s sub-genres is a preoccupation with exploring and questioning the boundary that divides the body that has agency from the body that has none. This boundary is one that is familiar to those for whom the agency of the body is an everyday matter of survival.    Metal’s preoccupation with unleashing and controlling sensorial overload acts both as an analogue of neurodiversity and as a space in which those who are neurodivergent find ways to understand and leverage their sensory capacities. Metal offers potent resources for the self-understanding of people with disabilities. It does not necessarily mean that this potential is always explored or that metal scenes are hospitable to those with disabilities. This collection is disability-positive, validating people with disabilities as different but not damaged.    While metal scholars who contribute to this collection see metal as a space of possibility, in which dis\/ability and other intersectional identities can be validated and understood, the collection does not imply that the possibilities that metal affords are always actualised. This collection situates itself in a wider struggle to open up metal, challenging its power structures; a struggle in which metal studies has played a significant part.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745153589521,"sku":"NGR9781789389456","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52654573355281,"sku":"NLS9781789389456","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1789389453.jpg?v=1751185356"},{"product_id":"black-metal-trauma-subjectivity-and-sound-book-jasmine-hazel-shadrack-9781787569263","title":"Black Metal, Trauma, Subjectivity and Sound","description":"Black Metal, Trauma, Subjectivity and Sound: Screaming the Abyss weaves together trauma, black metal performance and disability into a story of both pain and freedom. Drawing on her years as a black metal guitarist, Jasmine Hazel Shadrack uses autoethnography to explore her own experiences of gender-based violence, misogyny, and the healing power of performance.   This profoundly personal book offers a detailed explanation of autoethnography, followed by a careful exposition of the relationship between metal and gender, considering - among other things - how women are engaged with by metal music culture. After examining the various waves of black metal and how this has impacted black metal theory, the book moves on to consider female performers and performance as catharsis, including a discussion of the author's work as guitarist and vocalist with the black metal band Denigrata and her alter-ego, the 'antlered priestess' Denigrata Herself. The book concludes with some thoughts on acquired disability, freedom and peace.    The book includes a foreword from eminent gender researcher Rosemary Lucy Hill, a guest section from metal scholar Amanda DiGioia, an epilogue from Rebecca Lamont-Jiggens (a legal pracademic specialising in disability), suggestions of sources of help for those in abusive relationships and further reading for those wishing to learn more about black metal theory.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51050219405585,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51050222027025,"sku":"NIN9781787569263","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52530758582545,"sku":"NLS9781787569263","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1787569268.jpg?v=1750898011"},{"product_id":"women-and-femme-voices-in-metal-music-culture-and-scholarship-book-jasmine-hazel-shadrack-9781032608938","title":"Women and Femme Voices in Metal Music, Culture, and Scholarship","description":"Where are the women and femmes in metal music, culture, and scholarship? What are the modes of address and engagement when, as Laina Dawes stated, ‘you love a music form that doesn’t love you back’? This interdisciplinary edited collection focuses on centring women and femme voices in metal music, culture, and scholarship, fostering an intersectional feminist position to analyse the varying perspectives and experiences. There has been a trend, which has also been acknowledged amongst feminist metal scholars, of sidelining and sometimes devaluing those voices that are so valid and important in a male-dominated music culture and scholarship. Contributors challenge and rectify this by: centring intersectional gendered identity; elevating women’s voices, and musical and other types of labour; and foregrounding trauma, herstory, and queering within metal music culture and scholarship. The audience for this edited collection is students and scholars of metal music studies, popular music studies, musicology, performance studies, gender, queer and decolonial studies, cultural studies, ethnography, feminism, trauma, and herstory. The metal music press and metalheads around the world will also be interested in this convocation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52569106415889,"sku":"NGR9781032608938","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53468761260305,"sku":"NLS9781032608938","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53533618536721,"sku":"NIN9781032608938","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781032608938.jpg?v=1774000750"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-jasmine-hazel-shadrack.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
