  • “It's Not Personal, It's Drag”: the Sassy Politics of Rupaul's Drag Race
    Felipe González Silva 2078621G MLitt Film and Television Studies Dissertation – September 2015 “It’s Not Personal, It’s Drag”: The Sassy Politics of RuPaul’s Drag Race Supervised by Professor Karen Lury University of Glasgow Word count: 14,840 Beneficiario COLFUTURO 2014 Abstract After the success of reality competition shows such as Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model in the United States, RuPaul’s Drag Race reached the small screen to be the first TV programme of its kind to feature drag queens. Through textual analysis and theories of queer and feminist studies, this thesis joins the fundamental debates about drag and its role in society. With these debates as a starting point, this thesis is dedicated to determining the position of Drag Race within the tension between gay politics and queer politics that lies in the programme’s construction of what drag is supposed to be. By focusing on the relation of masculinity and femininity in drag, and on the role of sleaziness in drag, this thesis argues that RuPaul’s Drag Race refuses to be located unequivocally as a project of either gay or queer politics. This reading does not only propose an innovative take on the programme but it also manages to further problematise the distinction between the two “kinds” of politics. Key words: RuPaul’s Drag Race, drag, gay politics, queer politics, femininity, masculinity, sleaziness, gender, race ii Acknowledgements I would like to show gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Karen Lury. Her impressive knowledge and sensibility about television and academia in general, along with her commitment to my project, helped me develop this dissertation successfully.

  • “Drag Queens Talk Like Women, You Know”
    “Drag Queens Talk Like Women, You Know” - A study in the Use of the Hedge “You Know” in Feminine-Gendered Speech Danny Bennet t 2016 C-essay 15 hp Engelska 61-90 Handledare: Pia Visén Examinator: Marko Modiano Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the use of the verbal hedge “you know” in the spontaneous speech of women and drag queens to compare for instances of certainty and uncertainty as described by Holmes (1986). For the data, episodes of the reality shows RuPaul’s Drag Race Untucked which airs on Logo TV and The Real Housewives of Orange County which airs on Bravo TV were manually transcribed by the conventions of written speech. The use of “you know” was then analyzed by function and context. In the results of this study, the women used “you know” to express uncertainty more often than the drag queens, except not in the way Lakoff (2004) described as being an aspect of “women’s language.” The drag queens used “you know” more often to express certainty. However, when used to express uncertainty its use by the drag queens was more relevant to “women’s language” as described by Lakoff (2004) or an exaggerated performance of femininity. Key words: Drag queens, women’s language, language and gender, hedges 2 Table of contents Abstract…………………………………………………………………..2 1. Introduction…………………………………………………………....4 2.

  • “I'm a Mountain Biking Vampire Witch from the Future!” Queer Decolonial
    “I’m a Mountain Biking Vampire Witch From the Future!” Queer Decolonial Killjoys in Queer Studies and Politics by Charlotte Theresa Hoelke A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate in Philosophy in Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2018, Charlotte Theresa Hoelke Hoelke, 1 Abstract This thesis asks how queer scholarship and politics will maintain a radically queer critical edge, specifically an unsettling, decolonial approach that does not take for granted the continuance of queer liberal and settler colonial structures. A longstanding debate in queer studies and politics is the tension between queer assimilation vs queer radicalism. However, even the radical unsettling approaches that discuss radical queer futurity (Muñoz, and Edelman) often do not centre the important context of settler colonialism, even while critiquing normativity and imagining better futures. So how do we locate examples of imaginings of queer decolonial futures: ones that account for settler colonialism? To find out, I chose to examine selected performances in specific popular “silly archives of unhappy feelings,” and found complex examples of uncanny, at times monstrous, performances by artists (Trixie Mattel, Katya Zamoldchikova and Miss Chief Eagle Testickle). These artists, I argue, exemplify and embody the characteristics of what I call “Queer Decolonial Killjoys” (QDKs). Building on Ahmed’s concepts of “Feminist Killjoys,” and “Unhappy Queers,” I demonstrate that the artists I discuss not only unsettle gendered, sexualized, and racialized norms (à la Ahmed), but that they also act as Decolonial Killjoys because they use complex performative strategies to also critique settler colonialism and queer liberalism.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading Rupaul's Drag Race
    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.

After talking to producers beginning in 1998, RuPaul Charles premiered his namesake reality show, RuPaul’s Drag Race (RPDR) in 2009 (Daems 14).

  • 2020 Impact Report Looking Back at an Unprecedented Year
    2020 IMPACT REPORT LOOKING BACK AT AN UNPRECEDENTED YEAR In September 2019, when I formally launched Drag Out The VoteTM, my goal was to mobilize drag artists across the country to register, educate and turn out voters for the 2020 election. I was driven by learning that 100 million people didn’t vote in the 2016 election and that one out of five LGBTQ+ people were not registered to vote. This had to change. I had big goals of registering voters on stops Jackie Huba for the biggest drag tours.
