America's Next Drag Superstar!

By -

Proponho fazer uma comparação entre dois textos, um documentário e um reality show, que retratam a comunidade de drag queens nos EUA. Relacionar estes dois objetos é um bom exemplo para ilustrar o modelo dialético de resistência e apropriação de Peterson e Anand ("The Production of Culture Perspective"), e explorar o papel das indústrias da cultura na construção de identidades. Paris Is Burning (1990), um filme de Jennie Livingston, documenta a vida da comunidade de drag queens em Nova Iorque nos anos 80. Neste filme documental são expostas as difíceis condições de vida da comunidade. À margem da sociedade, os homens que vemos no filme são triplamente segregados: em primeiro lugar devido a questões de raça, uma vez que a maior parte são latino e afro-americanos; em segundo lugar, porque a maioria são gays (alguns transgénero); e finalmente, por serem drag queens. Devido à segregação, muitos dependem da prostituição como principal fonte de rendimento. A toxicodep...

Katy Perry_'Bon Appétit'

By -
Image
Katy Perry's "Bon Appétit"  is a video comparing a woman to a meal, ready to be devoured, as indicated by not only the visual themes throughout the video, but also by the lyrics.  The video starts with some squirting noises as the name of the song is coated onto some batter, followed by a  neon “NSFW” (Not Safe for Work) which marks the start of a rather disturbing experience. Katy Perry appears covered in saran wrap, much like a steak, and is presented to the viewer with skin-colored, form-fitting lingerie. A group of knife-sharpening chefs surround her, cut her out, and push her into a vat of flour, like one would do to batter, before pounding it (which I think is the metaphor they were going for here).  The group of chefs then roll her out like dough, twisting her body in several disturbing ways. She’s put on a wooden board, seasoned and “dressed” with a plethora of vegetables, and thrown into a boiling pot of water. Her nails, and the rest of her body, ...

"Chinese Female Kung-Fu Superheroes" _more poems on Barbie

By -
Teresa Mei Chuc "Chinese Female Kung-Fu Superheroes" are real. They jump from roof-top to roof-top, do a backward flip down to the concrete floor and land perfectly on two feet.  The metal of swords clang, the body moves with the precision of a praying mantis striking  its prey. Their dresses are colorful, long and lacy, billow and flair with each turn and twist.  Jewelry in the hair dangles and sparkles. Chinese female kung-fu superheroes are smart, fight bad guys, do good deeds, and risk their lives. They appear when least expected. Chinese female kung-fu superheroes never give up. They travel often alone by foot through mountains. They work hard training to master various martial arts forms. They do not care about Barbies , those plastic dolls of only one hair color that just looked pretty in the 80's. They aren't impressed; they do not want a boring life....
