for the past four years i have been writing, researching and theorising a PhD based on the work of kate bush at swansea university.
now at the end of that process, i am turning the lumpily titled thesis:
Kate Bush: Invocations, Performances and Transformations of the Feminine Subject into a less lumpily titled book,
adventures in kate bush and theory.
the adventure follows the multiple life forms of the bushian feminine subject as she moves through kate bush's work - we watch her embody feminine difference, fantasise about joining in with gay male group sex, do bad male drag, become with machines, go into the underworld, die and be reborn again.
adventures in kate bush and theory is an exercise in popular theory making and encompasses feminist, queer, post-colonial and affect theory, analyses of film, fairy tale and myth as well as creating its own concepts such as reconstruction and critical witch theory.
watch this space for updates and offerings of the work!
