dc.description.abstract
Facing Drag brings together international experts from fields like history, media, theatre, and performance studies to explore how gender, race, and ethnicity are impersonated across time and cultures. Using diverse case studies, the volume examines acts of crossing, appropriation, and re-signification in performance, highlighting their political, ethical, and aesthetic dimensions. It expands the concept of drag beyond gender bending, investigating its intersections with racialization and colonial histories. The essays offer critical insights into both the subversive potential of drag and its entanglement with violent forms of othering and exclusion.
