Becoming (S)he : why do drag?
Foucault: we have to create ourselves as a work of art
RuPaul : We are born naked and the rest is drag
Lacan - mirror stage
Davey wavey - youtuber - seeing himself in drag for the first time- mis-recognition of oneself
continuation of whole of physic development
The voice is a unique sonic finger print, voice as third space always mediating between the self and the other - voice matrix
Drag lip syncing - literally having someone elses voice as there own
ADORNO - GRAMMAR PHONE- on cd or ipod whatever the voice of singer - voice we want to hear is our own - we identify with what they are saying. - but if it was actually our own voice it wouldn't work.
Freud - NARCISM - ego of ourselves - in our heads the ego ideal shatters
drag queen protects the ego ideal.
INFANTILE MIRROR LACAN- that between mother and child - mother image of totalised perfection - gay heroine for drag queen
DYER - gay function of judy garland - in the face of everything she carried on singing - figure of fragmented identity
minoz - queer utopia - stage rehersal - protection
the stuff about voice and sound I find really interesting, I wonder how it can relate to my practice at the moment, working with my written voice as a child to my spoken voice now as an adult....
