    Candy Girls. Sexismus in der Musikindustrie
    (Ort: Raum HS 383, Universität Salzburg, Rudolfskai 42) Sonja Eismanns neuste Publikation Candy Girls. Sexismus in der Musikindustrie (Nautilus: September 2025) ist eine so wütende wie lehrreiche Mischung aus Analyse und Abrechnung, die zeigt, wie tief Sexismus und Ageismus in die Musikindustrie eingeschrieben sind, wie wir als Konsument*innen den male gaze erlernt und verinnerlicht haben, wie Missbrauch und Pädosexualität in fast allen Szenen und Genres akzeptiert werden.
