America's Next Drag Superstar!

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...

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

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....
