Catamania : The Dissonance of Female Pleasure and Dissent (1995) is a book by Olivia Gladwell published by Creation Books.
Book Description
- Catamania is a radical, compelling study of the female voice. Multi-contextual theorist Gladwell posits her analysis of the polemic of feminist rhetorical discourse as it presents a fresh and vital approach to an anatomy of female subjectivity through precise listening and the audacity to speak aloud.
- In its uniquely poetic language, the book chronicles the work of many seminal artistes and performers who are seizing hold of a new phonetics and sonic eloquence. Amongst subjects discussed are the lone siren wail, the 'helpless' scream of the disenfranchised, the earliest recorded voices of blues, soul and attitude; through to the electric voice of the post-modern orator, and the assaults of frontline agitators and feminist neo-punk.
