  • 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.

    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.

  • Emotion, Femininity and Everyday Experience
    Emotion, Femininity and Everyday Experience Straight Female Audience’s Perception of RuPaul’s Drag Race Student name: Yoshino Akizuki Student number: 509330 Supervisor: Balázs Boross Master Arts, Culture and Society Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University Rotterdam Master Thesis June 14, 2019 ABSTRACT An American reality TV program RuPaul’s Drag Race, in which drag queens compete with each other to be “America’s Next Drag Superstar,” has earned tremendous hit since it was first broadcast in 2009. Although Drag Race started as a niche program featuring drag queens and targeted only at the LGBTQ community, it is becoming a world-wide phenomenon in mainstream popular culture. Especially, straight female audiences have become a large percentage of the audience. However, why are straight women, who have not necessarily had a connection with drag culture, enthusiastic about Drag Race? Previous research on Drag Race are mainly textual analysis addressing particular issues such as race and ethnicity, social class, body shape and femininity (Darnell and Tabatabai, 2017; Edgar, 2011; Goldmark, 2015; LeMaster, 2015; Strings & Bui, 2014; Vesey, 2017). However, they lack the perspective of actual audience. And therefore, they do not explain the popularity among straight female audience. Since the audience of Drag Race has become increasingly diverse, different audiences interpret the contents differently. As Alasuutari (1999) explains using Stuart Hall’s encoding/decoding model, intended message from producers is not always received “correctly” by audiences. Therefore, it is significant to take into account the perspective of the audience. Furthermore, as Bird (2003) suggests audiences critically and actively interpret the message and put them in the context of everyday experience, we should closely examine the process of meaning-making.
