Drag Vistas and Visions
Methuen Drama (Verlag)
9781350373525 (ISBN)
Drawing from a range of academic disciplines, including critical disability studies, media, philosophy, linguistics, the book celebrates the many faces – and possibilities – of drag as a cultural and performance form. The contributions include chapters that are assertively activist, deeply reflective, and thought provoking.
This third volume goes in search of new conversations through the exploration of critical drag studies. The frameworks that formulate these conversations advocate for a broader, inclusive vision of drag, while not shying away from some of its problematic components. The chapters peek behind the glamourous veneer of drag, exposing the grit and sweat that underpin the performance, while winking at the theory that we may use to understand. Drag Vistas and Visions sees drag through a transformative lens that pushes boundaries and transcends the ordinary.
Mark Edward is a recovering academic, performer, artist and author. Stephen Farrier is Professor of Theatre and Performance and Deputy Principal of Rose Bruford College.
