- Title
Being and performance in RuPaul's Drag Race.
- Authors
Brown, Alexis
- Abstract
The article analyzes the television series "RuPaul's Drag Race." Particular focus is given on exclusion of transwomen in the show, and the commonality between many drag performers, cisgender and transwomen. It also examines the concept of the show, hosted by drag queen legend RuPaul, which blended the set-up of "America's NExt Top Model" hosted by Tyra Banks, and "Project Runway" with the drag ball first popularised by Jenny Livingston's "Paris Is Burning."
