Abstract

This chapter discusses how RuPaul’s Drag Race (RPDR) fosters performativities in social network sites based on exploratory qualitative research in Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The concept of performance is inspired by the notions of representation/construction of the self. When this performativity migrates to many narratives in social network sites, their semiotic power is intensified and can break the pretension of normativity. RPDR brings counter-hegemonic performances to a hegemonic scenario, making the constructed and questionable character of gender and the possibilities of construction/reconstruction of bodies and subjects visible. It is also noticed that RPDR generates something that can be seen as an explosion in a specific semiosphere, exposing, amongst other meanings, that, as said by mama Ru: “we’re all born naked and the rest is drag”.
