Taking up the ambivalence of \"dirty\" performance modes spanning drag and carnival to propaganda, she extends readings of gender bending by incorporating perspectives on blackface and \"racialized drag.\" She thereby explores violent, locally specific mobilizations of the transgressive along with the ways in which queer and creolized forms of performance intertwine to oppose identitarian boundaries. Given the current slide into right-wing authoritarianism, the book thus gestures toward the potential joy of collectively making societal conditions dance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvelyn Annuß is professor of gender studies and director of the International Research Center Gender and Performativity (ICGP) at mdw - Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien. Her work engages the intersections of aesthetics, theories of performativity, and political critique. As a scholar of theater and literature, she focuses on political spectacle, and in particular on its historicity and mediality in contexts of National Socialism, colonial racisms, and (re)fascization. ---\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 27, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48271680209117,"sku":"9783837674750","price":75.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/5RG0puMWC09783837674750.webp?v=1785251895","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/dirty-dragging-performative-transpositions-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
