Abstract:
The objective of this article is to examine the limits of discurses and aesthetics strategies of drag king, inspired by the butlerian theory of Gender Trouble. We emphasize the potential - but really problematic - risk of the stigmatization of the men from ethnic minorities and from poor populations inside some drag king acts. Finally, we call post-drag performances which talk about the intersectionnalities of gender, sexuality, race and class without reproducing stereotypes of white heterosexual supremacy.
