  • MASTERCLASS Meet
    MASTERCLASS Meet uPaul Charles’s chameleonic qualities have made him a television icon, spiritual guide, and R the most commercially successful drag queen in United States history. Over a nearly three-decade career, he’s ushered in a new era of visibility for drag, upended gender norms, and highlighted queer talent from across the world—all while dressed as a fierce glamazon. “Be willing to become the shape-shifter that you absolutely are.” Born in San Diego, California, RuPaul first experienced mainstream success when a dance track he wrote called “Supermodel (You Better Work)” became an unexpected MTV hit (Ru stars in the music video). The song led to a modeling contract with MAC Cosmetics and a talk show on VH1, which saw RuPaul interviewing everyone from Nirvana to the Backstreet Boys and Diana Ross to Bea Arthur. He has since appeared in more than three dozen films and TV shows, including Broad City, The Simpsons, But I’m a Cheerleader!, and To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. RuPaul’s Drag Race, Ru’s decade-old, Emmy-winning reality drag competition, has gone international, with spin-offs set in the U.K. and Thailand. He’s also published three books: 2 RuPaul 1995’s Lettin’ It All Hang Out, 2010’s Workin’ It!, and 2018’s GuRu, which features a foreword from Jane Fonda. Recently, he became the first drag queen to land the cover of Vanity Fair. His Netflix debut, AJ and the Queen, premiered on the streaming service in January 2020. RuPaul saw drag as a tool that would guide his punk rock, anti-establishment ethos.

    volume 9 issue 17/2020 “LIP-SYNC FOR YOUR LIFE” (ABROAD) THE DISTRIBUTION, ADAPTATION AND CIRCULATION OF RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE IN ITALY Luca Barra Dipartimento delle Arti, Università di Bologna [email protected] Paola Brembilla Dipartimento delle Arti, Università di Bologna [email protected] Linda Rossato Dipartimento di Studi Linguistici e Culturali Comparati, Università Ca’ Foscari, Venezia [email protected] Lucio Spaziante Dipartimento di Filosofia e Comunicazione, Università di Bologna [email protected] Abstract: The article aims to critically explore and understand the ways both RuPaul’s star persona and its show, RuPaul’s Drag Race, are distributed in Italy, circulate across, and impact on the Italian television industry and media culture. It also aims to express how many forms of national mediation, professional negotiation and audience reception deeply modify, and re-shape the TV product. To tackle the manifold facets of this case, four aspects will be analyzed: (trans)national distribution; adaptation and dubbing; global/local stardom; reception and cultural impact. Over a decade, the Italian edition and distribution of the show have changed, together with the national media landscape and its audiences. Keywords: Italian television, media industries, reception studies, dubbing, stardom, celebrity 1 Introduction RuPaul’s Drag Race is a TV show, a reality competition with drag queen contestants performing and being evaluated by expert judges, which has reached the eleventh season and given birth to several extensions and spinoffs. In the US, the program has long been broadcast on linear channel Logo (2009-2016), and has then moved to VH1 (2017-), which is part of the same company, Viacom.
