Sommario/riassunto

In this fresh and innovative study, Judith A. Peraino investigates how music has been used throughout history to call into question norms of gender and sexuality. Beginning with a close examination of the mythology surrounding the sirens-whose music seduced Ulysses into a state of mind in which he would gladly sacrifice everything for the illicit pleasures promised in their song-Peraino goes on to consider the musical creatures, musical gods and demigods, musical humans, and music-addled listeners who have been associated with behavior that breaches social conventions. She deftly employs a sophisticated reading of Foucault as an organizational principle as well as a



philosophical focus to survey seductive and transgressive queerness in music from the Greeks through the Middle Ages and to the contemporary period. Listening to the Sirens analyzes the musical ways in which queer individuals express and discipline their desire, represent themselves, build communities, and subvert heterosexual expectations. It covers a wide range of music including medieval songs, works by Handel, Tchaikovsky and Britten, women's music and disco, performers such as Judy Garland, Melissa Etheridge, Madonna, and Marilyn Manson, and the movies The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science, CALCO 2013, held in Warsaw, Poland, in September 2013. The 18 full papers presented together with 4 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The papers cover topics in the fields of abstract models and logics, specialized models and calculi, algebraic and coalgebraic semantics, system specification and verification, as well as corecursion in programming languages, and algebra and coalgebra in quantum computing. The book also includes 6 papers from the CALCO Tools Workshop, co-located with CALCO 2013 and dedicated to tools based on algebraic and/or coalgebraic principles.
