Dragging

<p>Dragging: Or In the Drag of a Queer Life is an assemblage of fragments that collectively tell stories about a diverse group of artists and activists for whom drag serves as inspiration method object and aim. </p><p>Methodologically grounded in ethnography <i>Dragging</i> incorporates auto-theoretical material that lays bare the intimacies of research teaching and loving as well as their painful failures. Drag is more than gender impersonation and it is more than resistance to norms. It is productively messy and ambivalent and in these and other ways can serve to attune us to political and aesthetic alternatives to the increasingly widespread desire to be led.</p><p>One of very few books about drag by an anthropologist and using a uniquely personal approach <i>Dragging </i>is an ethnography of artists and activists.</p>
