33 1/3, Aqua's Aquarium ISBN: 9781501384172 (HB - EN) € bestellen verlanglijst This book unwraps a bubblegum pop, "Euro-trash" classic to offer the first in-depth examination of what lies beneath Aqua's sticky-sweet veneer. The author weaves their own autobiographical experiences with the album together with critical musical and visual analysis, unveiling Aqua's potential role in the development of millennial queer identities. Peeling back the layers of Aquarium reveals a confection rife with unexpected contradictions and possibilities; implicit expressions of non-normative gender and sexuality, fetishism, and adolescent lust give way to videos permeated by racial exoticism and masculinist heteronormativity.
