"Drag, Interperformance, and the Trouble with Queerness is the first book centered on queer life in this growing midwestern hub and the first to focus simultaneously on kinging and queening. It shows that despite the shared heading of drag, these iconically queer institutions diverge in terms of audience, movement vocabulary, stage persona, and treatment of gender, class, race, and sexuality. Horowitz argues that the radical (in)difference between kings and queens provides a window into the perennial rift between lesbians and gay men and challenges the assumption that all identities subsumed under the queer umbrella ought to have anything in common culturally, politically, or otherwise. Drawing on performer interviews about the purpose of drag, contestations over space, and the eventual shuttering of the bar they called home, Horowitz offers a new way of thinking about identity as a product of relations and argues that relationality is our best hope for building queer communities across lines of difference.The book will be key reading for students and faculty in the interdisciplinary fields of feminist, gender, and sexuality studies; performance studies; American studies; cultural studies; ethnography; and rhetoric. It will be useful to graduate students and faculty interested in queer culture, gender performance, and transgender studies. At the same time, the clear and relatable writing style will make it accessible to undergraduates and well suited to upper-level courses in queer theory, LGBTQ identities, performance studies, and qualitative research methods." --

Masculinity is no longer a monolithic category, if ever it was. Long Live the King is a solid piece of scholarship that explores in depth the drag king phenomenon as well as key theoretical texts by feminist, postcolonial and cultural thinkers. Maite Escudero-Alías delves into drag king culture and highlights its relevance for the study of the relationship between gender, sex, race and sexuality. Introduced by a well-informed theoretical chapter that traces the roots of queer theory, Long Liv...

The Miss America pageant has been held in Atlantic City for the past hundred years, helping to promote the city as a tourist destination. But just a few streets away, the city hosts a smaller event that, in its own way, is equally vital to the local community: the Miss’d America drag pageant. Drag Queens and Beauty Queens presents a vivid ethnography of the Miss’d America pageant and the gay neighborhood from which it emerged in the early 1990s as a moment of campy celebration in the midst of the AIDS crisis. It examines how the pageant strengthened community bonds and activism, as well as how it has changed now that Rupaul’s Drag Race has brought many of its practices into the cultural mainstream. Comparing the Miss’d America pageant with its glitzy cisgender big sister, anthropologist Laurie Greene discovers how the two pageants have influenced each other in unexpected ways. Drag Queens and Beauty Queens deepens our understanding of how femininity is performed at pageants, exploring the various ways that both the Miss’d America and Miss America pageants have negotiated between embracing and critiquing traditional gender roles. Ultimately, it celebrates the rich tradition of drag performance and the community it engenders.

Art queer s’intéresse à la façon dont les stratégies de dénormalisation mises en place par les arts visuels peuvent se prolonger par le biais de l’écriture. Dans les trois chapitres de ce livre, les discussions théoriques et artistiques s’associent à la théorie queer, aux études sur la handicap et à la théorie postcoloniale pour définir trois pratiques : le drag radical, le drag transtemporel et le drag abstrait. Une des caractéristiques de l’art queer, tel que le définit Renate Lorenz, est sa possibilité d’agir à travers le temps, désorganisant une chronologie positiviste et se saisissant d’objets historiques par affinité. L’art queer cultive l’anachronisme comme méthode. En s’appuyant sur le travail de onze artistes, le livre est moins une tentative de relecture de l’histoire de l’art, que la manifestation d’une méthode, que l’auteure nomme drag, qui rendrait apparents des modes d’assemblages, « des connections productives entre le naturel et l’artificiel, l’animé et l’inanimé, tout ce qui permet de produire des connections aux autres et aux choses plutôt que de les représenter ». Parmi les artistes étudié∙e∙s figurent notamment Zoe Leonard, Shinique Smith, Jack Smith, Wu Tsang, Ron Vawter, Bob Flanagan, Henrik Olesen, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Sharon Hayes et Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz.
