  • Introduction: Why Act Like a Man?
    Sex, Drag, and Male Roles: Investigating Gender as Performance Diane Torr and Stephen Bottoms http://press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=236704 The University of Michigan Press, 2010 Introduction: Why Act Like a Man? When asked, “What’s a drag king?” I reply: “Anyone, (regardless of gender) who consciously makes a performance out of masculinity.” —del lagrace volcano The first time I saw Diane Torr perform as a man the experience was a little unnerving. In the context of a lecture-demonstration, she had first ap- peared as “herself” and presented a slide show documenting the develop- ment of her work. She then disappeared offstage, leaving us to watch a video about her “Man for a Day” female-to-male transformation work- shops. Eventually she reappeared as Danny King—her middle-aged, mid- dle-class, middle-management character—complete with business suit, slicked-back hair, mustache, stubble, and shiny black shoes. What was dis- orientating, though, was not the cosmetic transformation but the change in physicality. Danny walked on slowly, planting his feet squarely onto the stage floor as if he owned it, and then stopped, folded his arms across his chest, and stared at us with a look of absolute indifference. He made as if to begin speaking, then thought better of it. He adjusted his posture, looked down at his shoes, back up at us, and stared some more. A moment more, and he began striding casually around the stage as if checking out its dimensions, utterly unconcerned by the presence of observers. By the time he finally deigned to speak to us, he was indisputably in command of the stage and his audience and yet he had done almost nothing.

Now We've Got Our Khaki On: Woman And Music In First World War London Abstract Scholarship on British perspectives on the First World War now consistently incorporates reflections on wartime labor on the Home Front, particularly on women’s roles as nurses, factory workers, philanthropists, and care-givers. However, the creative work that produced the War’s popular culture—the material and affective labor of artists and audience members—is still largely absent: artistic responses to the conflict are studied chiefly through masterpieces of elite culture that conveyed appropriately elegiac affects of mourning and that continue to perpetuate modern conceptions of the War as a monolith of male martyrdom and heroism. This dissertation bridges this gap, situating women’s music-making within contemporary national debates over the political, economic, and social ramifications of women’s wartime work. During the First World War, the affective labor of musical performance and consumption became entwined with medical care, education, social control, and anxieties over wartime gender and class roles.

Sharon Ullman, "The Twentieth Century Way": Female Impersonation and Sexual Practice in Turn-of-the-Century America When female impersonator Julian Eltinge appeared on stage before early twentieth-century vaudeville audiences, his artistry amazed them. To listen to contemporary critics, one might suspect that no one had ever effected so successful an artifice as Eltinge's remarkable portrayal of the female form. Swirling in a cascade of color and movement, Eltinge showcased his femininity while singing and dancing in a variety of "international" presentations. A flushed 1909 Variety critic noted that in Eltinge's "Incense Dance" with the "splendid setting, yellow predominating as the color," the impersonator "executes a dance while in feminine Oriental dress. His 'girl' is an artistic study, from the slippers to the coiffure." 1 Eltinge's popularity was legendary.
