Simone Grace de Barros (Examinadora Interna) Universidade Federal de Pernambuco _________________________________________ Profª. Drª. Nara Oliveira de Lima Rocha (Examinadora Externa) Universidade Federal de Pernambuco Dedico essa dissertação à minha família: Arthur, Sonia, Cassandra e Graziela. Agradecimentos Aos meus pais que, com seu amor e dedicação, sempre estiveram presentes, me incentivando a seguir em frente e comemorando junto as conquistas alcançadas. Minha mãe Sonia, a rainha da minha vida, e o meu pai Arthur (OPSMP), que partiu no meio dessa minha jornada mas sei que, lá de cima, está feliz e orgulhoso. Meu amor e gratidão são infinitos. Obrigado por ser meu pai, obrigado por ser minha mãe. Às minhas irmãs Cassandra e Graziela, minhas grandes companheiras, parceiras, apoiadoras, amores eternos. Me ajudaram em tantas das etapas do meu mestrado que eu não sei nem por onde começar. Na verdade eu sei sim. Se não fosse pela inspiração que a Grá nos dá – além das orientações – e se não fosse pela iniciativa de Cá que (literalmente) me entregou em mãos tudo o que eu precisava pra me inscrever nesse mestrado – além da companhia pra ir para a UFPE até em dias que ela não precisava estar lá – eu não teria chegado até aqui. Eu só sou quem eu sou e do jeito que eu sou por causa de vocês. À Breno, meu parceiro de aventuras, que também vem me apoiando desde o começo dessa jornada (a carona para levar os documentos na UFPE nunca será esquecida). Você me inspira a querer ser uma pessoa mais dedicada e mais inteligente. Obrigado por todo o companheirismo e amor nessa caminhada. Mesmo nessa ponte aérea você esteve presente. Não poderia deixar de agradecer Rosilda pela alegria que me proporciona no dia a dia. Ela nunca vai ler isso mas é o bebê mais lindo que existe. Au au! Aos meus amigos de perto que, mesmo perto, compreenderam a minha ausência em vários momentos em que eu estava me dedicando. As palavras de incentivo e as vibrações positivas fizeram toda a diferença. Não seria capaz de citar todos mas Ray, Pipe e Duda conseguem representar bem os amigos de perto: foram minha família quando a minha estava (fisicamente) longe. Aos meus amigos de longe: Gabriel, Gui, Rapha, Thami, Adriano, Marcos, Luciana, Thiego. Obrigado pelas visitas, abraços, telefonemas, mensagens. Cada encontro era uma alegria. Obrigado por, de maneiras diferentes, fazer o possível pra estar presente e me ajudar. Ao meu orientador Hans, por toda a paciência, compreensão e, principalmente, pelos ensinamentos e pela confiança depositada em mim. À Ana Paula que também me orientou e me trouxe clareza às minhas dúvidas. Aos meus colegas de mestrado que, de alguma forma, me ajudaram a chegar até aqui. E um grande mega “muito obrigado” para todas as drag queens (Vicky Venenosa , Alexia Tarantino, Margareth Tarantino, Dahlia Mayfair, Safira Blue, Tory Milicent, Charlotte Delfina, Dita Dura, Milla Perón, Nina Poison, Vanda, America, Kelly Venenosa, Moon Moon, Cassia Blue, Chloe Noriega, Ruby Nox, Emily Amber Nox, Diesel Nox e Zizara Caralhon) que disponibilizaram o seu tempo e compartilharam tão gentilmente as suas histórias. Parabéns por ser quem são e por botar a cara no sol. Minha admiração eterna. Oh, oh, oh I wanna be free-yeah to feel the way I feel Man! I feel like a woman! (TWAIN; LANGE, 1997) Resumo Esse estudo consiste em analisar o comportamento de consumo de drag queens – artistas surgidos no teatro, presentes na cena LGBTQ, que realizam performance de gênero – na cidade do Recife, suas relações de consumo, inspirações, restrições e relações com o “eu”, para que possa ser compreendida a criação da identidade de suas personas. Para tal foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre os assuntos abordados: questões de gênero e suas pluralidades, consumo de moda, teoria do autoconceito, gerenciamento de aparências, design da informação e a imagem; além de entrevista com 20 drag queens locais, análise dos seus discursos e análise visual dos seus looks. Essa metodologia permitiu perceber as drag queens como vetores de design da informação e entender que, ao consumir um look para a sua persona, o sujeito está se vestindo de coragem, sendo a drag queen um “eu livre” de quem a performa. Palavras chave: Drag Queen. Consumo. Gênero. Design da Informação. Abstract This study consists of analyzing the consumption behavior of drag queens - artists emerged in the theater, present in the LGBTQ scene, who perform a gender performance - from Recife, their consumption relations, inspirations, restrictions and relations with the "self" so that the construction of their persona’s identity can be understood. For this, a bibliographic research was carried out on the subjects such as: gender issues and their pluralities, fashion consumption, self-concept theory, appearance management, infodesign and image; in addition to an interview with 20 local drag queens, analysis of their speeches and visual analysis of their looks. This methodology allowed us to perceive drag queens as vectors of infodesign and to understand that, when consuming a look for his persona, the subject is dressing up with courage, being drag queen a "free self" of who performs it. Keywords: Drag Queen. Consumption. Gender. Infodesign.

    “It’s just a matter of time”: African American Musicians and the Cultural Boycott in South Africa, 1968-1983 by Ashrudeen Waggie Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (History) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr. L. Lambrechts Co-supervisor: Dr. C. J. P. Fransch March 2020 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third-party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Ashrudeen Waggie March 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In 1968 the United Nations General Assembly instituted a cultural boycott against apartheid South Africa. The cultural boycott prevented South Africa from having cultural, educational and sporting ties with the rest of the world, and it was an attempt by the international community to sever ties with South Africa. A culmination of this strategy was the publication of an annual registry by the United Nations of all international entertainers, actors, and others who performed in South Africa from 1983. Based on this registry a number of academic studies have been conducted, but very few studies have investigated those who came to perform in South Africa before the publication of the registry even though renowned artists such as Percy Sledge (1970), Brook Benton (1971 & 1982), Jimmy Smith (1978 & 1982) and Isaac Hayes (1978) performed in South Africa during this time.
