  9. BEER! for my first paper given at a conference. Do a search on the abstract page for my last name: http://mustec.bgsu.edu/~ftm7/abstracts.htm Edit: so you don't have to wade through all of the other abstracts A Sheep in Wolf’s Corset: Gendered Vocalism and Heteronormative Recuperation in The Rocky Horror Picture Show Steven Reale University of Michigan Although initially a failure, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) eventually became a cult hit, famous for the level of audience participation that any given showing would enjoy. Rocky Horror, a movie about a bisexual, transvestite scientist from the galaxy of Transylvania, effectively opened a space for audience members to explore queer sexuality in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. On the surface, Rocky Horror seems to deliver an overt message of sexual liberation. Some critics have pointed out, however, that beneath this surface exists a subtle message of sexual restraint; that the excess ostensibly promoted by the film in fact serves as a warning. This paper will consider the tension between the themes of restraint and liberation in Rocky Horror through the lenses of feminist, queer, and popular music theories, including Frith and McRobbie’s dichotomy between “cock rock” and “teenybop,” Shepherd’s analysis of gendered vocal timbre, Cusick’s theorization of the gendering of pop-rock vocal performance, and Walser’s discussion of heavy metal transvestism. In doing so, I hope to show that despite the hypersexual trimmings, The Rocky Horror Picture Show serves a conservative cultural function comparable to that of a Nineteenth-Century Bildungsroman: The show is, in other words, a first-person narrative outlining an episode in the coming of age of a very heteronormative protagonist, Brad Majors.
