Résumé: L’objectif de cet article est d’examiner les limites du discours et des stratégies esthétiques du drag king, inspirées par la théorie butlérienne de Trouble dans le genre. Nous mettons l’accent sur le risque potentiel - mais réellement problématique - de la stigmatisation des hommes issus des minorités ethniques et des populations pauvres au sein de plusieurs actions drag kings. Enfin nous qualifions de post-drag les performances qui abordent les intersectionnalités du genre, de la sexualité, de la race et de la classe sans reproduire les stéréotypes de la suprématie hétérosexuelle blanche.

Com base nas observações realizadas em um estudo de caso, busca-se descrever e analisar certos elementos observados em uma atividade que integrou uma gincana escolar da rede estadual de ensino do município de Maringá-PR. Tal acontecimento consistiu num desfile em que os alunos e alunas apresentaram-se como drag queens e drag kings, respectivamente, e foram avaliados em sua performance por três drag queens convidadas especificamente para esta função. Reconheceram-se nesta singularidade elementos potentes para se pensar as questões de performance de gênero e suas relações com o currículo normativo que se constituiu na escola moderna, expressando-se como uma significativa contribuição nas produções políticas da diferença. Lendo as personagens drag queen e drag king como paródias que denunciam, ou mesmo, visibilizam a precariedade de gênero, fez-se potente a expressão “estranhamento” do currículo.

Research Findings

This article focuses on the phenomenon of the drag king scene. The author attempts at answering whether drag kings stand-ups are pure amusement, camp performance, or, possibly, an instance of political involvement. The first part of the article examines the theoretical contexts of the performance in question as well as previous research findings. The second part demonstrates the scope of author’s individual studies which included the application of the ethnographic method, together with content analysis techniques, and semi-structured interviewing. The data was collected in 4 interviews with Polish drag king representatives, and in 55 recordings of various performances. The results of the research suggest that political involvement is deeply rooted in drag king stand-ups. However, it is not the only category that can be applied to describe them.

El artículo propone, como principal objetivo, estudiar las indagaciones artísticas en torno a las masculinidades femeninas. Para esto, se parte de la filosofía del teatro para analizar dos espacios escénicos diferentes en los que se dan estas búsquedas. Por un lado, se trabaja con la Carrera de reyes, espacio de competencias de drag kings en Buenos Aires, y con dos artistas transformistas en particular. Por otro lado, se analizarán los procedimientos de travestismo escénico en Petróleo, obra del grupo Piel de lava, estrenada en 2018. Se busca ampliar las nociones de tradicionales de teatro al incluir las prácticas artísticas de transformistas y también se revisa la presencia escénica de las mujeres que exploran las masculinidades. Asimismo, se plantea dimensionar las consecuencias que tienen estas prácticas en la historia del teatro y en las identidades de género de les espectadores.

The last few decades have seen the development of a large body of scholarly work on drag queens and performances of femininity by men (see Barrett 1995, 1999). However, performances of masculinity by women have largely been overlooked. Research by scholars like Judith Halberstam (1997, 1998) on female masculinity and the drag king performer has attempted to address this imbalance, but the phenomenon has yet to receive any attention from sociolinguists. This study aims to bring attention to online performances of masculinity by women in the South African context through a multimodal analysis of the Facebook pages of performers in the country’s first known drag king troupe, Bros B4 Ho’s. The study has three broad aims: firstly, to demonstrate the way in which the process of entextualisation is used as a key resource in the kings’ performances of masculinity online; secondly, to demonstrate that the masculinities put on display during these events are ‘queer subject position[s] that can successfully challenge hegemonic models of gender conformity’ (Halberstam 1997, 9); and thirdly, to argue that what the kings do is not always a straightforward disruption of heteronormative masculinity – at times they reproduce and reinforce the very structures they seek to critique.
