Um Estudo Sobre a Territorialidade Nos Processos Identitários Das Drags Demônias Um Estudo Sobre a Territorialidade nos Processos Identitários das Drags Demônias. Juliana Bentes Nascimento EKOAOVERÁ: Um Estudo Sobre a Territorialidade nos Processos Identitários das Drags Demônias. Dissertação apresentada ao Programa de Pós Graduação em Artes, da Universidade Federal do Pará, como requisito parcial para a obtenção do grau de Mestre. Orientador: Prof. Dr. Wladilene de Sousa Lima Linha de Pesquisa 2: Teorias e Interfaces Epistêmicas em Artes Belém - PA 2019 Agradecimentos Fazer uma pesquisa é fácil, difícil é viver ela, existir com ela, fazer ela tomar parte no seu corpo, nos seus poros, e viver/ser drag é isso, é uma metralhadora de atravessamentos o tempo todo, é almoçar pensando em peruca e tomar banho dublando. Ser drag e pesquisar o meu próprio nicho, sem dúvidas, é um privilégio enorme. Privilégio este que não seria viável sem a presença do que eu chamo de: possivelmente as melhores pessoas do universo. Sendo este elemento pré-textual dedicado a enaltecer justamente as pessoas, órgãos, movimentos e coisas sem as quais essa pesquisa não seria possível então, há de se convir que o primeiro elemento seja a família, as pessoas que me carregaram no colo e que, mesmo despois de um quarto de século virado, continuam carregando. Obrigada, Mãe, por ser inquebrável, por nunca desistir, por ser “ariana cabra da peste” e nunca ter me deixado desistir, mesmo quando eu não aguentava mais; Mãe Lena, por ser o melhor exemplo de tudo, ser exatamente o que eu quero ser quando crescer; Suzana, por ser o meu apoio em meio ao caos, sempre. Vocês são as mulheres da minha vida. Por família, é preciso tomar a família de sangue, aquela que luta com o próprio sangue para existir e que são o início, o meio e o enfim desse trabalho: as demônias. Obrigada Xirley Tão, Amoras, Black Jambú, Condessa de Devonshire, Monique Lafon, Luka Cortez, Bunny, Gigi Híbrida, A.K.A. Della, Don Pine, Lady Milady, Rudá Urbana, S1mone, Sarita Themônia, Shayra Brotero, Tristan Soledade, Yndjáh Báh, La Falleg Condessa, Flores Astrais e um agra- decimento mais do que especial às demônias que vivem comigo, que passam fome junto na falta e bebem junto na fartura: Perséfone de Milo, Rubi da Bike, Pandora Rivera Raia e Leid, manas, eu não seria nada sem vocês. Ainda no quesito família há de se incluir amigos-irmãos que não fizeram parte dessa pesquisa de forma direta mas que também estavam em cada linha e em quase todas as histórias: Henrique Santos, Demy Ferreira, Léo Cerconttini, Henrique Cecim, nada disso seria o mesmo sem vocês. Um agradecimento muito especial à a-drag e designer responsável por toda a dia- gramação, ilustrações e identidade visual desse projeto: Wan Aleixo, um amor que nasce com Toni Braxton só pode ser eterno. Mas nem só de família se faz uma pesquisa acadêmica e, depois de três anos tentando entrar nesse programa de pós-graduação, a academia me trouxe, surrealmente, para a turma mais doida que eu poderia ter, e não posso deixar de agradecer à turma de 2017 pelas longas discussões e melhores trocas. E também aos professores que conduziram esse caminho até aqui: Rosângela Britto, Dênis Bezerra, Maria dos Remédios, Cláudia Leão, Paes Loureiro, Orlando Maneschy e à banca, escolhida a dedo: Ivone Xavier e Larissa Latif, vocês são rainhas. E, cla- ro, agradecimento mais do que especial à minha orientadora Wlad Lima, que soube me guiar, acalmar e organizar a minha cabeça quando eu nem sabia mais o que eu estava fazendo. Agradeço à CAPES que forneceu o aqué para que eu pudesse me dedicar à pesquisa ao longo desses dois anos. Ao PPGArtes, à Escola de Teatro e Dança da UFPa, por serem meus espaços de formação. À SECULT. Às manas de Manaus, São Paulo, Recife, Salvador, Natal, Rio de Janeiro, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Brasília, Florianópolis, Belo Horizonte. Drag é afeto em rede, é rizoma. E, finalmente, agradeço à vida, essa sequência de acontecimentos aleatórios e sem senti- do nenhum que me trouxeram até aqui, que é exatamente o melhor lugar onde eu poderia estar. “Quero que olhes pra chuva e repenses bem Pois aonde eu for, tu vais também, Belém.” - Lucas Paixão RESUMO Analizar de que maneira a cidade de Belém, enquanto território subjetivo, atravessa de forma direta ou indireta os processos identitários das Drags Demônias, grupo cultural aqui estudado, foi o grande objetivo da pesquisa intitulada EKOAOVERÁ: Um Estudo Sobre a Territorialidade nos Processos Identitários das Drags Demônias. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo bibliográfico sobre a montação com larga ênfase nos teóricos Roger Baker e Carlos Figari, seguido de um apanhado conceitual e uma revisitação de termos que conversam com a montação, passando pelos estudos de Judith Butler, Berenice Bento, Anna Paula Vencato entre outros. Para adensar a pesquisa, foi analisada a montação enquanto método de alteração corporal com base no estudo de Renata Kamla sobre Mascaramento Contemporâneo, tendo como ação metodológica fundante, a realização de entrevistas com vinte e três artistas do segmento cultural, através da proposição de entrevista estruturada de Maria Cecília Minayo. Para finalizar o procedimento metodológico de campo, os dados foram atravessados pela abordagem da etnometodologia, resultando atravessamentos em três instâncias de análise: pessoalidades, conceitos e territorialidades. A análise final confirma a hipótese de que a territorialidade tem relação direta com essas construções identitárias. Palavras-chave: Montação. Drag. Demônia. Territorialidade. Belém. ABSTRACT Analyze how the city of Belém, as a subjective territory, crosses directly or indirectly the identity processes of Drags Demônias, the cultural group studied here, was the main objective of the research entitled EKOAOVERÁ: A Study on Territoriality in the Identity Processes of Drags Demônias. For that, a bibliographic study was made about the montação with a great emphasis on the theorists Roger Baker and Carlos Figari, followed by a conceptual survey and a review of terms that speak with the montação, including the studies of Judith Butler, Berenice Bento, Anna Paula Vencato among others. To deepen the research, the montação was studied as a method of body alteration based on the study of Renata Kamla on Contemporary Masking. The methodological action was based on interviews with twenty - three artists from the cultural segment, through a structured interview proposal by Maria Cecília Minayo. To finalize the methodological procedure, the data were crossed by the ethnomethodology approach, resulting in crossings of three instances of analysis: personalities, concepts and territorialities. The final analysis confirms the hypothesis that territoriality is directly related to these identity constructions. Keywords: Mountation. Drag. Demônia. Territoriality. Belém. SUMÁRIO 1.

INTRODUÇÃO Aconteceu no dia 06 de fevereiro de 2016, fui cedendo e deixando incidir. Noite Suja Carnevale, a primeira edição: o dia em que me montei pela primeira vez, o dia em que Luna Skyyssime apareceu na minha vida. Foi quando tudo mu- dou. Eu, recém-comunicóloga que fugia das artes há algum tempo por acreditar na premissa de “não dar dinheiro”, não conseguia mais lutar contra, no fim das contas eu era artista, eu sempre havia sido. Passo a entender o meu espaço enquanto artista drag na cidade de Belém e a identificar a pesquisa ali, entre as minhas irmãs, nos seus processos criativos e em suas formas transgressoras de agir e reagir no mundo, percebendo em mim mesma as mudanças ocorridas a partir do processo de montação, o quanto isso tudo era potente e como a cidade dava suporte para essa construção e ao mesmo tempo alterava toda ela. Uma cidade quente, úmida, tranbordando uma cultura densa que perpassa o corpo de cada artista que produz aqui. Era isso, essa era a minha pesquisa. Pulei de cabeça nesses atravessamentos, e assim começou a se estruturar essa escritura, em um primeiro momento, ainda sem um método propriamente escolhido, eu precisava me situar, e nasceu o capítulo What’s Goin’ On? . Para organizar os pensamentos, foi realizado um largo estudo historiográfico, geran- do o primeiro sub-ítem: Pistas de uma Possível Trajetória, que aborda a própria montação – ação de montar – e o montare (colocar sobre), desde as primeiras civilizações e seus rituais, passando pelas civilizações orientais, africanas, mani- festações artísticas por todo o mundo e chegando à suposta gênese da palavra Drag, no Renascimento.

    NASCIMENTO, Juliana. Drags Demônias – O Grupo Cultural Belemense em Análise. Belém: PPGArtes. ICA – UFPa; Mestranda; Wladilene Lima. Bolsista CAPES. Drag e Pesquisadora. RESUMO: Desde 2014, na cidade de Belém, o grupo cultural que se auto identifica com o nome “Drags Demônias” tem quebrado diversos paradigmas que rodeiam a arte drag; reagindo artisticamente de acordo com uma construção filosófica e atravessamentos específicos. Em um primeiro momento organiza-se através de um estudo bibliográfico e análise através de história oral, seguido de um estudo dos conceitos que conversam com a arte drag (como drag queen, drag king, drag queer, transformista, cross-dresser, travesti, transgêneros, etc.) e revisitando algumas confusões e alterações dessas estruturas conceituais e convergindo com a produção contemporânea. Partindo para um segundo momento onde, através de observação e análise, identifica-se a gênese do grupo como subgênero direto da arte Drag Queer. Partindo do princípio que esta consiste na não-definição de um gênero específico na sua construção poética; abrindo novas possibilidades de atravessamentos, percepções e estéticas. A Demônia, muito além da estética e do sincretismo cristão, remete ao demônio interior, ao grego daimon, ao destino – ethos anthropo daimon. Além de alimentar arcabouço teórico sobre o tema e suas transgressões e variações. PALAVRAS CHAVE: Drag, Demônia, Queer, Belém. ABSTRACT: Since 2014, in Belém, the cultural group that identifies itself with the name "Drags Demônias" has broken several paradigms that surround the drag art; reacting artistically according to a philosophical construction and specific crossings. At first it is organized through a bibliographic study and analysis through oral history, followed by a study of the concepts that talks with the drag art (as drag queen, drag king, drag queer, transformista, cross-dresser, travesti, transgenders, etc.) and revisiting some confusions and alterations of these conceptual structures and converging with contemporary production.

Hosted by veteran drag performer RuPaul, Drag Race features drag queen entertainers vying for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” Since premiering in 2009, the show has become a queer cultural phenomenon that successfully commodifies and markets Camp and drag performance to television audiences at heretofore unprecedented levels. Over its nine seasons, the show has provided more than 100 drag queen artists with a platform to showcase their talents, and the Drag Race franchise has expanded to include multiple television series and interactive live events. The RuPaul’s Drag Race phenomenon provides researchers with invaluable opportunities not only to consider the function of drag in the 21st Century, but also to explore the cultural and economic ramifications of this reality television franchise.

Contact: [email protected] The Gentrification of Drag How drag refuses to lose its edge in mainstream entertainment By Kyle Kucharski Drag culture is blowing up the mainstream. What has historically been a queer subculture relegated to the nightlife world is now an emerging arena of entertainment on primetime television. Reality TV shows like “RuPaul’s Drag Race” have changed the drag landscape forever, bringing it into the center of the cultural conversation, where it can be made into family-friendly, PG-13 programming. An ever-growing thirst for more drag content means more opportunities for performers to make careers, more money for those performers and more varied and dynamic art. But what is the cost of the commercial monetization of an audacious, queer form of performance born on the margins of society and fueled by the underground? In response to this, a growing community of performers—many of them quite new to drag—have created a space for their own type of art, one that attempts to keep drag underground. Their work suggests that if the value of drag lies in its power to shock and to provide a dissenting critique on heterosexual, cisgender culture, its power as a subversive form of art is lost when its mass-produced and inevitably sanitized.

    This PDF contains the complete Keywords section of TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly, Volume 1, Numbers 1–2. Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/tsq/article-pdf/1/1-2/232/485677/19.pdf by guest on 27 September 2021 KEYWORDS Abstract This section includes eighty-six short original essays commissioned for the inaugural issue of TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly. Written by emerging academics, community-based writers, and senior scholars, each essay in this special issue, ‘‘Postposttranssexual: Key Concepts for a Twenty- First-Century Transgender Studies,’’ revolves around a particular keyword or concept. Some con- tributions focus on a concept central to transgender studies; others describe a term of art from another discipline or interdisciplinary area and show how it might relate to transgender stud- ies. While far from providing a complete picture of the field, these keywords begin to elucidate a conceptual vocabulary for transgender studies. Some of the submissions offer a deep and resilient resistance to the entire project of mapping the field terminologically; some reveal yet-unrealized critical potentials for the field; some take existing terms from canonical thinkers and develop the significance for transgender studies; some offer overviews of well-known methodologies and demonstrate their applicability within transgender studies; some suggest how transgender issues play out in various fields; and some map the productive tensions between trans studies and other interdisciplines. Abjection ROBERT PHILLIPS Abjection refers to the vague sense of horror that permeates the boundary between the self and the other. In a broader sense, the term refers to the process by which identificatory regimes exclude subjects that they render unintelligible or beyond classification.

This reflection usually has multiple purposes, including entertainment, education, and satire, often with an ultimate goal of improving the world that is reflected through theater's mirror. The world of theater has always attracted large numbers of gay men and lesbians, made expert in the arts of disguise and illusion by the necessity of hiding their identities. However, ironically, just as in other areas of society, pre-liberation glbtq people usually found themselves left out of the mirror that theater held up to society. Drag Troupes Probably the earliest gay theater companies were drag troupes. The Jewel Box Revue, an interracial group that billed itself as "Twenty-five Men and a Girl," was founded in 1939 in a Miami nightclub. It differed from earlier drag acts in that it offered a unified production, not merely a succession of solo acts. Moreover, the show featured dance routines, original music, and comic sketches, but not lip synching. The revue began touring the United States in the 1940s, appearing mostly in gay bars and nightclubs, but in some theaters as well. The extensive circuit of bars and other performing venues is some indication that the glbtq population in the 1940s and 1950s was larger and somewhat more organized than often realized.

  • Introduction
    Introduction SUSAN STRYKER and PAISLEY CURRAH elcome to TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly, which we intend to be the Wjournal of record for the rapidly consolidating interdisciplinary field of transgender studies. Although the field is only now gaining a foothold in the academy, the term transgender has a long history that reflects multiple, sometimes overlapping, sometimes even contested meanings. For some, it marks various forms of gender crossing; for others, it signals ways of occupying genders that confound the gender binary. For some, it confers the recognition necessary for identity-based rights claims; for others, it is a tool to critically explore the dis- tribution of inequality. The term transgender, then, carries its own antinomies: Does it help make or undermine gender identities and expressions? Is it a way of being gendered or a way of doing gender? Is it an identification or a method? A promise or a threat? Although we retain transgender in the full, formal title of this journal, we invite you to imagine the T in TSQ as standing in for whatever version of trans- best suits you—and we imagine many of our readers, like us, will move back and forth among several of them. We call your attention as well to our use of the asterisk (symbol of the open-ended search) in the journal’s logo, our hopefully not-too-obscure gesture toward the inherently unfinishable combinatorial work of the trans- prefix. Whatever your critical, political, or personal investment in particular trans- terminologies, we hope that you will find—or make—an intel- 1 lectual home for yourself here.
