In a rather conventional sense, great performing is often associated with a sense of interiority, becoming your character, identifying with your role. In that sense, a great performer could become anyone else simply by looking deep within herself. Of course, there’s a long history of performance practices that reject this model. Yet whether it is a matter of embracing or rejecting what is, so to speak, on the inside, there is an overarching belief that great performers are uniquely adept at locating themselves and using that self to build a world around them. It is no surprise then that today we are all expected to be great performers. Our lives are filled the endless capacity to shed one skin for another, to produce multiple cyber-personalities on a whim. We are hyperaware that our outsides are malleable and performative—and that our insides might be an endless resource for reinventing and rethinking ourselves (not to mention the world around us). So perhaps it’s almost too obvious to say that Jibz When I was a youth, say, about 8, I played a game in the Cameron, the mastermind behind Dynasty Handbag, is an incredible woods with my friend Ocean where we pretended to be hookers.

  • The Haus of Frau: Radical Drag Queens Disrupting the Visual Fiction of Gendered Appearances
    The Haus of Frau: Radical Drag Queens Disrupting the Visual Fiction of Gendered Appearances John Bryan Jacob Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Clothing and Textiles Catherine Cerny, Co-Chair Ann Kilkelly, Co-Chair Katherine Allen Scott Christianson Valerie Giddings Rebecca Lovingood May 7, 1999 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Gender, Appearance, Identity, Gay Studies, Women’s Studies Copyright 1999, John Bryan Jacob THE HAUS OF FRAU: RADICAL DRAG QUEENS DISRUPTING THE VISUAL FICTION OF GENDERED APPEARANCES John Bryan Jacob (ABSTRACT) This research considers the connections between appearance and identity apparent in the social experience of five gay male drag queens. Appearing at variance with gender norms that underwrite male appearance in mainstream society and among gay men prompted social consequences that impacted their identities and world views. One aim is to apprehend the experiences of difference that drag appearance manifest and expressed. Another aim is to gain a new perspective on the social construction of gendered appearances from marginalized persons who seem to look from the “outside” in toward mainstream social appearances and relations. Qualitative analysis relied on interview data and occurred using grounded theory methodology However, analysis gained focus and intensified by engaging Stone’s (1970) theorizing on “Appearance and the Self,” Feminist articulations of “the gaze” and poststructural conceptions of the discursively constituted person as “the subject.” This research especially emphasizes the points of connection between Stone’s theorizing and more recent feminist theoretical advancements on the gaze as they each pertain to appearance, identity and social operations of seeing and being seen.

    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.

  • Bridget Boyle Thesis
    Bits and Bumps: Understanding gender in contemporary physical comedy Bridget Boyle BA Drama (Hons) QUT PhD Candidate Creative Industries Drama QUT Exegesis In partial completion for the award of Doctor of Philosophy Queensland University of Technology Creative Industries, Drama 2015 Abstract This research project investigates how gendered bodies perform physical comedy. According to the late Christopher Hitchens (2007) women are too concerned with the seriousness of their reproductive responsibility to make good comedy. If, as slapstick film director Mack Sennett once declared, the body of mother is too serious for pratfalls (Dreiser 1928), then the female body in the public realm is often situated as a trivial simulacrum: “[s]he might be a Booker Prize winning author, politician, scholar, miner or comedian, but let’s cut to the important question: what does she look like”(Goldsworthy 2013, 22). This study, located in the field of practice-led research, challenges these notions of gender and comedy by producing a new theatrical physical comedy that features the work of both a female and a male performer, crafted so that the female performer is not merely a prop, but enjoys an equal share of the punch-lines. This project makes an original contribution to knowledge by formulating a new method of understanding how the body operates in physical comedy. This method works by identifying five key registers in which the comic body can be situated in physical comedy. Further, the study identifies how gender challenges the operation of these registers. Most significantly, the research develops and demonstrates a three-tier process for a writer/director to manage the challenges of gender in a mainstage context.
