  • Strategic Thinking in Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars: a Game Theory Analysis by John Norell, 29/3-2019
    Strategic Thinking in Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars: a game theory analysis By John Norell, 29/3-2019 Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars is an American reality competition show for drag performers. In simple terms, the format is this: a group of contestants each episode compete in different challenges related to drag, each week one gets voted of the show and when there’s only one left, that contestant is crowned the winner. A feature of the All Stars game that is different from an ordinary season of Rupaul’s Drag Race is that instead of the judge (Rupaul) deciding who’s sent home, the winners of the episode challenges decide which of the two worst-performing contestants that gets eliminated. This introduces a strategic element into the competition, and this is what will be analysed in this text. If you are the winner of the episode challenge, should you eliminate the strongest competitor or is there an advantage to gain from acting fair and eliminate the weakest one? Is it strategic to form alliances? Why is it, that in the show, the contestants tend to establish a norm of always sending home the weakest of the bottom contestants? These are some of the questions questions I will answer by using the tools of game theory. In the next section, I outline the basic model and solve it to see what predictions it makes about how contestants will behave. I will then analyse the model and in particular different contestants probability of winning the whole game. Next, a number of modifications are proposed and analysed how they affect the predictions the model makes.

  • QUEER UTOPIA and REPARATION: RECLAIMING FAILURE, VULNERABILITY, and SHAME in DRAG PERFORMANCE by Rodrigo Peroni Submitted to C
    QUEER UTOPIA AND REPARATION: RECLAIMING FAILURE, VULNERABILITY, AND SHAME IN DRAG PERFORMANCE By Rodrigo Peroni Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Arts in Critical Gender Studies. Supervisor: Professor Eszter Timár Second Reader: Erzsébet Barát CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2017 Abstract This thesis discusses the critical and queer utopian potential of two performances by Ongina and Alaska Thunderfuck - two contemporary American drag queens. Based on Ongina’s “Beautiful” lip-sync performance and Alaska Thunderfuck's “Your Makeup Is Terrible” video clip, I argue that the performance of failure, vulnerability, and shame troubles multiculturalist discourses for their perpetuation of the neoliberal and masculinist values of individual success (chapter 1), authentic autonomy (chapter 2), and proud stable identity (chapter 3). While and because these performances defy the drag genre’s conventions and drive us to reconsider the prevalent forms of resistance to heterosexism, they also engender a queer utopian potential that allows the imagining and experiencing of alternative ethics. I rely on José Esteban Muñoz’s concept of disidentification and Eve Sedgwick’s notions of paranoid and reparative reading to propose queer communitarian bondings that are not radical nor durable but more inclusive and self-transformative. By interpreting ugliness as failure, I argue that in uglifying themselves Ongina and Alaska expose the meritocracy of neoliberalism and suggest an ethics based not on aesthetic pleasure but on a reparative appreciation of the awful that queers the very notion of community for not holding on to stable identities nor individual achievements. Drawing on a Levinasian discussion of vulnerability and care, I discuss how Alaska disidentifies with the reality TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race's deployment of vulnerability as relatable authenticity while suggesting an alternative ethics with which to encounter the Other based on witnessing, risk, and ungraspability.

Tickets from €19.50 nch.ie 01 417 0000 Welcome 3 Welcome to the West Wicklow Festival 2019. Time has flown since the inaugural Festival in 2017 and I am hugely excited about our third festival which will build on the enormous success of previous years. This year’s programme celebrates two important themes. Firstly, 2019 marks the second centenary of the birth of perhaps the world’s most significant female composer, Clara Schumann. To honour her legacy we feature arguably her greatest work for solo piano, the Variations Op. 20, her stunning 3 Songs Op. 12 and the poignant 3 Romances for violin and piano Op. 22. The Festival is also proud to recognise other significant Irish and international female composers and will feature works by Rhoda Coghill, Amy Beach, Lili Boulanger, Rhona Clarke and Joan Trimble. The 2019 programme further includes seminal works by Beethoven, Brahms, Bartok, Dvorak, Gershwin, Janacek, Kreisler, Liszt, Poulenc, Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Schumann, Strauss and more! Secondly, by way of contrast, 2019 also marks the centenary of the outbreak of the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921).

  • 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.

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.
