Got to be Real: Queering Reality, Identity, and Audience Affect on RuPaul’s Drag Race
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
The meteoric rise of RuPaul's Drag Race in popular culture has given the extravagant subculture of drag a mainstream platform through reality television.Drag Race constructs queer identities and drag performances to make them palatable for both LGBTQ+ and cisheterosexual audiences alike.To understand how audience members consume and understand queerness and drag, I interviewed self-identified fans of Drag Race and recollected my own connections with the show.Coupled with queer and affect theory, these interviews inform my analysis of Drag Race and how it depicts queerness and the impact it has on viewers.Audiences are endeared to RuPaul's drag reality through the queering of the reality television genre, the onstage/offstage/backstage depictions of gender and sexuality, and affective relationships they build with the show.RuPaul's Drag Race invites fans behind the curtain of drag performances to be entertained by personal narratives of queerness beyond the spectacular drag persona.McHarge 1 Racers, Start Your Engines: Introduction "Bitch, we all have a place here and so you might as well have enjoyed the show."Said Bob the Drag Queen to me after the "Siblings Rivalry Tour" show on September 14, 2019 at the Algonquin Commons Theatre in Ottawa, Ontario.I was one of the many-and I mean many-young, white, and femme-presenting attendees waiting in line after the performance to get a chance to briefly meet the stars, Bob the Drag Queen and MonetXChange, as they signed merchandise bought before the show.After emerging from the shadows of the theatre and into the fluorescent light of the lobby, I stood my place in line to have my obnoxiously large "Sibling Rivalry" fan signed by the fabulous drag queens who had just put on an incredible show.Bob and Monet spent the better part of two hours lipsyncing, dancing, telling jokes, and excessively sweating in front of a wired and receptive audience.Starstruck by seeing two strong contestants from one of my favourite programs, RuPaul's Drag Race, I spent the entire line-waiting time racking my brain for the perfect quip to tell the queens as they sign my fan.Should it be funny or sincere?Brief or winded?Bold or conventional?I decided I didn't have nearly enough time to explain to the queens how much drag as an art form means to me, or to even tell them that their work inspires my research and passion in academia.My turn came.I ambled forward, unfurled my fan and handed it over.Monet complimented my signature velvet shirt and drag show makeup.I gushed over how enjoyable the show was, and settled on saying something pithy and to the point, "I'm just another anonymous fan, but I had a great time."Bob, towering over me and still sweating from the final number, looked me in the eyes and told me that even though I was one single person in the audience of their show on a North American tour, I still mattered.Prior to attending the show, I had just moved to Ottawa to begin my Master's degree at Carleton University.I moved to a new city to live with two unknown roommates, and study at a

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
