Esta dissertação é o resultado da pesquisa etnográfica realizada entre julho de 2019 e outubro de 2020, em Porto Alegre, Brasil, no âmbito da oficina artística performática Pimp My Drag, na qual um grupo de performers drag queens procurou desenvolver suas personas, aprimorar suas montações e estimular a própria criatividade em performances. Aliando-se uma estratégia de observação-participante com entrevistas, recolheu-se informação acerca do fazer drag, ou seja, da atividade performática drag queen no contexto observado, bem como procurou-se perceber quais elementos subjetivos e objetivos dos performers os levaram a dedicar tempo e recursos ao aprimoramento dessa prática cultural. Nesse sentido, busca-se desvelar os aspectos intrínsecos à prática performática propriamente dita, costurando-os com a subjetividade dos praticantes e com suas vivências enquanto sujeitos ligados às minorias LGBTQIA+. Através da análise das teorias de performatividade de gênero, analisa-se, com base nos conhecimentos trazidos pelos estudos de performance e pela antropologia, o papel das drag queens no contexto cultural artístico e social da cidade.
This dissertation is the result of the ethnographic research developed between July/2019 and October/2020, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in the scope of the artistic workshop Pimp My Drag, in which a group of drag queen performers sought to develop their personas, improve their make-up and costume skills and stimulate their own creativity in performances. Allying a strategy of participant observation and interviews, information about the doing-drag was collected, it means information about the drag queen performative activity in the observed context to notice which subjective and objective elements motivated the performers to dedicate time and resources in enhancing that cultural practice. In this sense, we sought to unveil the intrinsic aspects of the performative practice itself stitching them up with the performers’ subjectivity and their life experiences as part of the LGBTQIA+ minority. Through the analysis of the gender performativity theory, based on the knowledge brought by the performance studies and by anthropology, we discuss the role of the drag queens in the artistic and social cultural context of the city.
