Conference: Facing Ethnic Drag
Conference: Facing Ethnic Drag
Thursday, 17 June 2021, 6 pm CET
Zoom-Registration until 16 June: Benedikt Arnold (IKM) arnold-ben @ mdw.ac.at
Drag, a key concept in Gender Studies, has been theorized as a practice of queering, of re-signifying. Against the backdrop of manifold articulations of colonialism and racism, this transdisciplinary conference aims at re-thinking „drag". It brings together scholars and artists from different parts of the globe to address, to historicize and to contextualize – to face – practices of othering and of mimesis in performing arts and in popular culture.
Organized by Evelyn Annuß, Mariama Diagne
