  • Are They Family?: Queer Parents and Queer Pasts In
    ARE THEY FAMILY?: QUEER PARENTS AND QUEER PASTS IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN CULTURE BY MICHAEL SHETINA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2019 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Siobhan Somerville, Chair Professor Chantal Nadeau Associate Professor Julie Turnock Associate Professor Richard T. Rodríguez, University of California, Riverside ABSTRACT The early twenty-first century saw a marked increase in depictions of LGBTQ people and communities in American popular culture occurring alongside political activism that culminated in the repeal of the Pentagon's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy (2010) and the Supreme Court's overturning of same-sex marriage bans in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015). Even as these events fueled a triumphant progressive narrative in which social and political representation moved LGBTQ people into a better future, a significant strain of LGBTQ-focused popular culture drew its attention to the past. My dissertation, Are They Family?: Queer Parents and Queer Pasts in Popular Culture, examines how American film, television, and literature between 2005 and 2016 construct relationships among LGBTQ people across recent history in generational and familial terms. These works queer the concept of the family by deploying parents and parental figures to examine the role of families in the transmission of queer knowledges, practices, and identities, countering notions of families as mere precursors to queer identity—“families of origin”—or as the agential creations of out LGBTQ people—“families of choice.” These works demonstrate how such dichotomous conceptions of family limit the people, experiences, and forms of affect that are legible within the category of LGBTQ history.

  • Calling All the Queens! Visibilidades De Gênero No Programa De TV Rupaul’S Drag Race1
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação XVII Congresso de Ciências da Comunicação na Região Nordeste – Natal/RN – 02 a 05/07/2015 Calling All The Queens! Visibilidades de gênero no programa de TV RuPaul’s Drag Race1 Joseylson Fagner dos SANTOS2 Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN), Mossoró, RN Resumo: O presente artigo se propõe a discutir a visibilidade de indivíduos e identidades drag queen a partir da veiculação de RuPaul’s Drag Race, programa de televisão transmitido em canal por assinatura no território norte-americano. O texto faz parte de um estudo preliminar a respeito das aproximações culturais entre a cena estadunidense e a brasileira, pela qual circulam referências sobre personagens e experiências drag queen. Para tanto, faz uma análise qualitativa de duas temporadas (2013 e 2014) do programa e suas principais articulações sobre as questões de gênero e identidade sexual que fundamentam a posterior análise e discussão de outros experimentos no Brasil. A reflexão iniciada aqui é pautada pela reflexão sobre como as referências apresentadas no programa permitem articular elementos como a visibilidade social dessas personagens na cena LGBT, e a articulação de questões de gênero e das sexualidades na difusão em meios de comunicação de massa. Palavras-chave: drag queen; papéis de gênero; comunicação de massa; televisão; RuPaul’s Drag Race. INTRODUÇÃO Who do you think you are? I'm telling the truth now We're all born naked And the rest is drag — RuPaul Presença irreverente e icônica na cena LGBT norte-americana desde a metade dos anos 1980, a figura andrógina de RuPaul Andre Charles – que posteriormente ficou conhecida apenas por RuPaul – tornou-se um fenômeno de mídia após surgir como drag queen3 nos meios de comunicação de massa dos Estados Unidos como ator, cantor e diretor numa variedade de filmes, programas de rádio e de TV, propagandas, eventos sociais e casas noturnas, além dos videoclipes musicais para promover álbuns gravados como cantora.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 © Copyright by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire by Carl Douglas Schottmiller Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor David H Gere, Chair This dissertation undertakes an interdisciplinary study of the competitive reality television show RuPaul’s Drag Race, drawing upon approaches and perspectives from LGBT Studies, Media Studies, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies, and Performance Studies. 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. ii While most scholars analyze RuPaul’s Drag Race primarily through content analysis of the aired television episodes, this dissertation combines content analysis with ethnography in order to connect the television show to tangible practices among fans and effects within drag communities.

After talking to producers beginning in 1998, RuPaul Charles premiered his namesake reality show, RuPaul’s Drag Race (RPDR) in 2009 (Daems 14). The show, with the potential to break down barriers of gender expression and sexuality, has had a fair share of controversies—particularly surrounding transphobia and misogyny.

Name: DOUGLAS RAY KNUTSON Date of Degree: JULY, 2017 Title of Study: GENDER DYSPHORIA, DEPRESSION, AND PERFORMANCE INVOLVEMENT AMONG GAY AND BISEXUAL MALE DRAG QUEENS Major Field: EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY Abstract: Researchers and theorists have generally included drag queens and transgender (trans*) populations together in their scholarship, and have paid little attention to how these populations may differ. Such sampling practices may lead to a variety of misleading assumptions about both drag and transgender populations.
