Reframing Drag provides a critical survey of French and
Anglo-American queer and feminist theorizations of drag
performance, placing these approaches in a dialogue with
contemporary drag practice and the representation of drag in three
literary texts. Challenging pervasive assumptions circulating in
existing queer and feminist analyses of drag performance, the
author identifi es and questions three recurring ideas which have
shaped the landscape of drag research: the argument that drag
performances either uphold or subvert oppressive gender norms, the
assumption that drag involves performing as the 'opposite sex', and
the belief that drag can shed light on gender performativity.
Informed by a range of gender and queer theory, this work contends
that an intersectional, transfeminist approach to drag performance
can provide richer, more nuanced understandings of drag and, unlike
the 'opposite sex' narrative, acknowledges the gender diversity at
work in current drag scenes.
