Description
This last chapter states the central theme revealed by the book's analysis - the enactment of unity, and the ideas that this theme encompasses. It presents the impact and significance of Björk's achievements. Björk is considered difficult to categorize: she is a performer, an actress, a composer of film-music, a singer-songwriter, a producer of collaborative works; she is positioned within popular music but has musical and artistic tastes beyond those of pop genres.
