Hill, RL orcid.org/0000-0003-0099-4116 (2016) ‘Power has a penis’: Cost reduction, social exchange, and sexism in metal - reviewing the work of Sonia Vasan. Metal Music Studies, 2 (3). pp. 263-271. ISSN 2052-3998
Abstract
In this short article I review Sonia Vasan’s contribution to understandings of women’s negotiations of sexism within death metal. Women’s experiences and identities as metal fans has been a growing area of interest amongst metal scholars, and Vasan’s work makes a very useful contribution to this field. Her work on group behaviour from a social psychology perspective brings new insights about how the death metal scene remains fairly static in its male dominance.
