The Nile on eBay FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Drag Vistas and Visions by Mark Edward, Stephen Farrier This third and final volume in Edward and Farrier's groundbreaking trilogy spotlights the vibrant spectrum of drag as an art form, identity category and political force. Drawing on practice, research, and interdisciplinary approaches, the volume captures drag's continual capacity to challenge, critique and create. Drawing from a range of academic disciplines, including critical disability studies, media, philosophy, linguistics, the book celebrates the many faces – and possibilities – of drag as a cultural and performance form. The contributions include chapters that are assertively activist, deeply reflective, and thought provoking. This third volume goes in search of new conversations through the exploration of critical drag studies. The frameworks that formulate these conversations advocate for a broader, inclusive vision of drag, while not shying away from some of its problematic components. The chapters peek behind the glamourous veneer of drag, exposing the grit and sweat that underpin the performance, while winking at the theory that we may use to understand. Drag Vistas and Visions sees drag through a transformative lens that pushes boundaries and transcends the ordinary.

Afterword: Yet, Not The Last Word, Mark Edward and Stephen Farrier Review If you are interested in the history and academic aspects of Drag, this book is for you. The assorted chapters written by different experts give different views of Drag all around the world. * Sue Tilley, Leigh Bowery biographer * An in-depth study of Camp containing a chapter on David Bowie's relationship to the phenomenon? Count me in! An entertaining, exhaustive and illuminating book - fascinating to read the stories of the various Drag Queens from different cultures, each with their own unique self-invented persona... a very Ziggy Stardust concept. * Mark Wardel, Artist * Drag as a critical field of study owes no small debt to Edward and Farrier who, in this third and final volume of their ground-breaking series, continue to shine light on drags' plurality and multi-vocality. Bringing together a diverse range of practices and voices, the 'vistas' and 'visions' represented here extend well beyond the mainstream, revealing not just what drag does now, but envisioning what it may yet still do. Drag as a field is justifiably acknowledged. So too is the need and invitation to keep negotiating and changing its boundaries. * Professor Dee Heddon, James Arnott Chair in Drama, University of Glasgow, UK * Promotional The third and final in a set, this book explores what languages and critical frameworks are available to speak about and theorise contemporary and historical drag performance.

  2. I had a ‘90s copy. I was excited about the new edition. With a new forward by J Wasserman and intro by LM DuQuette. The book was excellent value and it arrived in perfect condition as it was sold new. A gorgeous looking tome.I gave 5 stars for the description, I had no communication with the seller and only gave 4 stars for Dispatch Time. Dispatched on Nov 4th with the last day being tomorrow. The process was great. Highly recommended. I’ve done business with these guys and will continue to.

  3. Good seller despite the negative feedback that I read. Communication has been excellent, seller has been responding professionally. The seller gave me a delivery date and the book arrived on time as promised. Book came in excellent mint condition. My only criticism would be that the seller should mention in the description that they do not keep the books in stock and have to order them in. This gives the buyer expectations that they have to wait a little longer to receive their book.
