The book argues that men’s control of women’s creativity can be considered a form of musical abuse, and that through its structures and systems, the music industry itself can be classed as inherently abusive. And yet, women musicians can sing back to the violence they’ve experienced and create powerful new representations that have the potential to change the way we listen to music, if we are prepared to develop our feminist ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnsilenced\u003c\/em\u003e by Dr. Bianca Fileborn, Dr. Catherine Strong, Dr. Rosemary Lucy Hill is an important contribution to discussions around the intersection of music and gender-based violence, offering a new perspective on how music can be both a site of violence and a powerful medium for resistance and change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428399202540,"sku":"9798765101742","price":40.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9798765101742.jpg?v=1774496815"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dr-bianca-fileborn.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
