Abstract Description

Animal Drag analyses the potential for critical and conscious acts of adornment and embodiment that is entangled with the nonhuman animal to rupture humanist and problematic binary thinking. It proposes that Animal Drag is a political weapon, employing multiple academic disciplines and 'minority' studies. Animal Drag presentations might be used to foreground feminist discourses, issues of race, disability, gender variance and class, let alone issues of species hierarchy.
