Zusammenfassung:Prompted by the popular term "flaming" that is used to identify over-the-top or peculiar performance of identity, Flaming? argues that male African American gospel singers wield and interweave a variety of multivalent aural-visual cues, including vocal style, gesture, attire, and homiletics, to position themselves along a spectrum of gender identities.
