It analyses the representation of drag by explaining some basic terms and the study of the history of drag. It then analyses the evolution of the representation of drag queens in movies and shows. The main focus of this thesis is the American TV show RuPaul's Drag Race and how it changed the portrayal of drag and the LGBTQ+ community in popular culture. The thesis questions if the show is as progressive and diverse as it proclaims to be and if it shows the authentic image of drag culture. 3 THE HISTORY AND REPRESENTATION OF DRAG IN POPULAR CULTURE; HOW WE GOT TO RUPAUL Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis with title The History and Representation of Drag in Popular Culture; How We Got to RuPaul I submit for assessment is entirely my own work and has not been taken from the work of others save to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my thesis.
