More about the book

The book explores the impact of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," particularly k.d. lang's renditions, within today's network culture. It examines how modern recording dynamics and social media amplify the song's emotional and visual resonance, reflecting Nietzsche's concept of the 'spirit of music.' By delving into the song's sexual and religious themes, it offers a phenomenological analysis of desire, addressing gender dynamics and the objectification of both men and women, encompassing both homosexual and heterosexual perspectives.
