From the twins Osugi and Peeco to longstanding icon Miwa Akihiro,
Claire Maree traces the figure of the Japanese queerqueen, showing
how a diversity of gender identifications, sexual orientations, and
discursive styles are commodified and packaged together to form
this character. Representations of gay men's speech have changed in
tandem with gender norms, increasingly crossing over into popular
media via the body of the "authentic" gay male up to and including
the current "LGBT boom" in Japan. In this context, queerqueen
demonstrates how commercial practices of recording, transcribing,
and editing spoken interactions and use of on-screen text encode
queerqueen speech as inherently excessive and in need of
containment. Tackling questions of authenticity, self-censorship,
and the restrictions of heteronormativity within this perception of
queer excess, Maree shows how queerqueen styles reproduce
stereotypes of gender, sexuality, and desire that are essential to
the business of mainstream entertainment.
