Dedico esta dissertação a toda comunidade dos Ballrooms, especialmente a brasileira, que através de sua arte e sua performance cria mais uma ferramenta de luta e, mais do que isso, uma nova concepção do que se entende como família. Resumo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o processo de transnacionalização da cultura dos Ballrooms, com enfoque em seu desenvolvimento no território brasileiro, assim como as questões identitárias, performáticas e linguísticas que envolvem esse processo. A cultura dos Ballrooms, surgida em Nova York em meados do fim da década de 70, consiste em uma comunidade performática e de competição LGBT que, em sua formação original, era majoritariamente parte de uma expressão cultural negra e latina dos EUA. Desde a sua formação, suas práticas têm sido exploradas pela cultura mainstream e, dessa forma, sua existência ultrapassou os limites periféricos das grandes cidades norte-americanas e é hoje uma cultura em processo de transnacionalização com expressivas formações em países da Europa e América do Sul, especialmente o Brasil. Porém, apesar de haver esse movimento cultural transnacional e se tratar de uma cultura que, a priori, propõe uma prática subversiva contra as hegemonias que reprimem essas minorias, há um controle por parte das comunidades originárias dessa cultura (em específico, as norte-americanas) para que as comunidades europeias e latino-americanas respondam às demandas desses grupos originários e, mais do que isso, procurem por seu reconhecimento. Sendo assim, pretende-se aqui não apenas observar as práticas desses grupos, as questões de gênero e sexualidade que envolvem suas performances e o papel linguístico dentro dessa dinâmica grupal, mas também o processo pelo qual a transnacionalização se dá, quais diferenças e inovações nas práticas do grupo essa transnacionalização provoca e por quais dispositivos se dá o controle dessas comunidades pelos grupos “originais” americanos. Abstract: The aim of this work is to analyze the process of transnationalization of the Ballroom culture, especially its development in Brazil, as well its aspects related to discussions about identity, performativity and language. The Ballroom culture, with its roots in the 70s in the city of New York, is a LGBT community based on performance and competition which has its origins in the black-latin american culture. Since its formation, its practices have been exploited by the mainstream culture and, therefore, its existence has overcome the limits of the suburbs of the major American cities and it is today a culture in the process of transnationalization with expressive formations in countries of Europe and South American, expecially Brazil. Although there is a transnational movement and the fact that it is a culture whose purposes, a priori, point out to a subversive approach against the hegemonic society that repress these people, there is a control by the communities where this culture has its origins (that is, the USA) that wants that the communities of Ballrooms in South America and Europe respond to the demands of the communities in USA and even seek for their recognition. Therefore, this work intends not only to observe the practices of these groups, the questions of gender and sexuality that are intrinsic to the performances of these communities, but also the process of transnationalization, what differences and innovations in the practices of these groups the transnationalization cause and by which means happens the control of these communities by the “original” north-american groups.

  • “Vogue” Em Performances Do Carnaval Carioca Strike a Pose!
    ARTIGO COMUN. MÍDIA CONSUMO, SÃO PAULO, V. 16, N. 46, P. 376-395, MAI./AGO. 2019 DOI 10.18568/CMC.V16I46.1901 Strike a pose! A mediação do videoclipe “Vogue” em performances do Carnaval carioca Strike a Pose! Mediations of “vogue” music video in Performances of Brazilian Carnival Simone Pereira de Sá1 Rodolfo Viana de Paulo2 Resumo: O artigo tem por objetivo abordar as mediações do videoclipe da canção “Vogue”, de Madonna, buscando discutir o seu agenciamento de corpo- reidades periféricas em dois momentos: nos anos 1980, quando o videoclipe se apropria e amplia a visibilidade da dança voguing, praticada pela cena cultural LGBT nova-iorquina, e duas décadas depois, quando o videoclipe é, por sua vez, uma das referências para jovens dançarinos gays nas suas apresentações em alas das escolas de samba do Carnaval carioca. Assim, interessa-nos discutir as zonas de diálogo e de tensão entre performances locais e globais, tendo como aportes teóricos a discussão sobre “cosmopolitismo estético” (REGEV, 2013) e sobre as divas pop como ícones culturais (JENNEX, 2013), entre outras referências. Palavras-chave: Vogue; Madonna; performance; videoclipe; escolas de samba. Abstract: The article discusses the mediations of Madonna’s Music Vid- eo Vogue, seeking to discuss its agency on peripheral bodies in two moments: the first, in the 80s, when the song and music video appropriates the steps and gestures of Voguing created by the LGBT scene in New York; and the second moment, two decades later, when the music video is, in turn, one of the refer- ences for young, black and gay dancers who practice Vogue dance during their presentations on Rio de Janeiro’s samba schools in the present time.

I also want to dedicate this to my father, who encouraged me to accomplish my goals and taught me that nothing is too great to achieve. I want to thank my siblings who have shown support throughout my doctoral degree. I also want to thank my husband, Michael Saginaw, for his patience while I spent many hours in solitude while writing my dissertation. Without all of their support, this chapter of my life would have been meaningless.

  • A Case Study Exploring the Agency of Black Lgbtq+ Youth In
    A CASE STUDY EXPLORING THE AGENCY OF BLACK LGBTQ+ YOUTH IN NYC’S BALLROOM CULTURE By Shamari K. Reid Dissertation Committee: Professor Michelle Knight-Manuel, Sponsor Professor Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date 19 May 2021 . Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2021 ABSTRACT A CASE STUDY EXPLORING BLACK LGBTQ+ YOUTH IN NYC’s BALLROOM CULTURE Shamari K. Reid Recognizing the importance of context with regard to youth agency, this study explores how 8 Black LGBTQ+ youth understand their practices of agency in ballroom culture, an underground Black LGBTQ+ culture. Ballroom was chosen as the backdrop for this scholarly endeavor because it allowed for the study of the phenomenon — Black LGBTQ+ youth agency — in a space where the youth might feel more able to be themselves, especially given that the 2019 Black LGBTQ+ youth report published by the Human Rights Campaign revealed that only 35% of Black LGBTQ+ youth reported being able to “be themselves at school” (Kahn et al., 2019). Thus, instead of asking what is wrong with schools, this study inverted the question to explore what is “right” about ballroom culture in which Black LGBTQ+ youth might practice different kinds of agency due to their intersectional racial and LGBTQ+ identities being recognized and celebrated. Framed by the youth’s understanding of their own agency across different contexts, my research illuminates the complex interrelationships between youth agency, social identity, and context. Extending the literature on youth agency and Black LGBTQ+ youth, the findings of this study suggest that in many ways these youth are always already practicing agency to work toward different ends, and that these different end goals are greatly mediated by the contexts in which they find themselves.

  • Sharing Economies and Affective Labour in Montréal's Kiki Scene
    SERVING EACH OTHER: SHARING ECONOMIES AND AFFECTIVE LABOUR IN MONTRÉAL’S KIKI SCENE by Jess D. Lundy A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Women’s and Gender Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019, Jess D. Lundy Abstract Against a tense socio-political backdrop of white supremacy, intensifying pressures of neoliberal fiscal austerity, and queer necropolitics, this thesis addresses performance-based activist forms of place-making for urban-based queer, trans, and gender nonconforming communities of colour. Using participant observation and qualitative interviews with pioneering members of Montréal’s Kiki scene and Ottawa’s emerging Waacking community and interpreting my findings through the theoretical lens of queer of colour theory, critical whiteness studies, queer Latinx performance studies and Chicana feminism, I argue that Kiki subculture, which is maintained by pedagogical processes of ‘each one, teach one’, is instrumental in facilitating i) life-affirming queer kinship bonds, (ii) alternative ways to simultaneously embody and celebrate non- normative gender expression with Black, Asian, and Latinx identity, iii) non-capitalist economies of sharing, and iv) hopeful strategies of everyday community activism and resilience to appropriative processes during economic insecurity and necropolitical turmoil. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the members of Montréal’s Kiki scene and Ottawa’s Waacking founder for their willingness to participate in this study despite the understandable reflex to safe-guard their own. Secondly, I extend my sincerest gratitude to my thesis supervisor Dr. Dan Irving. Apart from disproving that you should never meet your heroes, Dr.

    Judith Butler and a Pedagogy of Dancing Resilience Joshua M. Hall The Journal of Aesthetic Education, Volume 54, Number 3, Fall 2020, pp. 1-16 (Article) Published by University of Illinois Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/760813 [ Access provided at 9 Oct 2020 19:39 GMT from California State University @ San Marcos ] Judith Butler and a Pedagogy of Dancing Resilience JOSHUA M. HALL Abstract. This essay is part of a larger project in which I construct a new, historically informed, social justice–centered philosophy of dance, centered on four central phenomenological constructs, or “moves.” This essay, in particular, is about the fourth move, “resilience.” More specifically, I explore how Judith Butler engages with the etymological aspects of this word, suggesting that resilience involves a productive form of madness and a healthy form of compulsion, respectively. I then conclude by showing how “resilience” can be used in the analysis of various Wittgensteinian “families” of dance, which, in turn, could facilitate positive educational changes in philosophy, dance, and soci- ety, with particular efficacy on the axis of gender. In brief, by teaching a conception of strength as vulnerability (instead of machismo’s view of strength as apathetic “toughness”), a pedagogy of dancing resil- ience provides additional support for feminists (including Anzaldúa, Haraway, Butler, and Concepción) who advocate a cautious openness toward seemingly unlikely resources and allies (including analytic methodologies, Machiavellian politics, and the discourses of the natu- ral sciences). This article is part of a larger project in which I suggest, based on eighteen years of experience as a dancer and choreographer, a historically informed philosophy of dance built around four central concepts, or “moves.”1 Joshua M.

  • Title of Dissertation
    SETTING UP CAMP: IDENTIFYING CAMP THROUGH THEME AND STRUCTURE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michael T. Schuyler January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Cornelius B. Pratt, Advisory Chair, Strategic Communication John A. Lent, Broadcasting, Telecommunications & Mass Media Paul Swann, Film & Media Arts Roberta Sloan, External Member, Theater i © Copyright 2010 by Michael T. Schuyler All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Camp scholarship remains vague. While academics don’t shy away from writing about this form, most exemplify it more than define it. Some even refuse to define it altogether, arguing that any such attempt causes more problems than it solves. So, I ask the question, can we define camp via its structure, theme and character types? After all, we can do so for most other genres, such as the slasher film, the situation comedy or even the country song; therefore, if camp relies upon identifiable character types and proliferates the same theme repeatedly, then, it exists as a narrative system. In exploring this, I find that, as a narrative system, though, camp doesn’t add to the dominant discursive system. Rather, it exists in opposition to it, for camp disseminates the theme that those outside of heteronormativity and acceptability triumph not in spite of but because of what makes them “different,” “othered” or “marginalized.” Camp takes many forms. So, to demonstrate its reliance upon a certain structure, stock character types and a specific theme, I look at the overlaps between seemingly disperate examples of this phenomenon.

  • How I Learned About My Own Internalized Misogyny from Playing Touch Football With
    How I Learned About My Own Internalized Misogyny from Playing Touch Football with the Guys in Second and Third Grades and Why I Used to Hate the Color Pink because I Thought I Was Supposed To. I have a vivid memory of a parent-teacher meeting in the second grade wherein my teacher explained to my mom that I was distracting the little boys by flipping upside down on the monkey bars while wearing a dress. While I find it incredibly hard to believe that second grade boys actually cared enough to look, I understand this to be one of the many things that contributed to my waged war against the color pink when I was little and ultimately serious internalized misogyny. And further, the entire concept of my battle still enforced a gender dichotomy that is entirely performative, and my attempts to counter the norm were equally performative, if not more. When I was even younger, favorite princesses were basically astrological signs. Glittery pop-up books were the Bible. By the time touch football was legalized at recess, the performative aspect of gender began to surface even more as the divisions were more distinct, and we collectively decided to hate the color pink, mostly because the boys hated the color pink, and the boys were inherently more socially powerful. Unprompted, my friends and I would mercilessly insult the color, disavow any mention of “Hello Kitty,” and ridicule even the thought of glitter on any garment. To us, pink was associated with the delicate nature of femininity. I could not simultaneously play touch football with the guys and not be against the color.

Revista del Área de Ciencias Sociales del CIFFyH está bajo una Licencia Creative Commons Atribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 4.0 Internacional. ACADEMICUS Resumen El artículo se propone reflexionar acerca de los modos en que Pose, serie emitida por FX (y luego incluida en la plataforma de streaming Netflix), cuestiona los dispositivos hegemónicos que configuran el orden de género e identidad en la sociedad estadounidense de fines de los 80s bajo el gobierno de Ronald Reagan. Esos modos y gestos deconstructivos quiebran los cimientos sobre los que se sostiene la matriz cisheteronormativa, y proponen una sociedad contrasexual en la que el deseo se libera (o al menos intenta hacerlo) de las estrictas ataduras socioculturales que lo delimitan. Por otro lado, se analizará la representación del VIH-Sida en la serie, y cómo esa representación puede ser entendida como una denuncia a las políticas neoliberales y neoconservadoras que se desentendieron de la pandemia y sometieron a miles de vidas al más nefasto abandono y olvido. Palabras clave Contrasexualidad, VIH-Sida, Pose Abstract The article focus on the reflection about the ways in which Pose, a series firstly broadcasted by FX (and then available on Netflix streaming platform), questions the hegemonic mechanisms that set up the gender and identity order within the U.S.
