We invite submissions that attempt to expand upon current representations of drag performance in mainstream popular culture. Papers will problematize drag performance and parody as staged in RuPaul’s series, RuPaul’s Drag Race and may address taboo, the hyperbolized feminine, linguistic play, drag ‘families’, the legibility of queer bodies in a televised space, intertextuality and the subversion of queer issues.
