The address for contributions was left off the bottom, here it
is again
Hi Stephen,
Um, I've just seen this posted on
the ts lists. My name was inadvertinely
left off the bottom of the call;
since we want folks in Canada to be able
to send papers to me, is it possible
for this to be reposted with the
correction?
Thanks so much. By the
way, am waiting, anxiously, for your edited
collection to hit the stores
here. It looks fab!

CALL FOR
PAPERS
Collection of Essays: The Drag King Anthology
(Editors: Troka,
LeBesco and Noble)
The Drag King Anthology is
an interdisciplinary, cultural
studies-oriented collection of writing that
explores issues
surrounding the female-to-male gender performances of drag
kings.
The editors seek submissions which accessibly address
questions
including: What is drag, and how does stage “kinging”
differ
from other forms of gender performance, including “queening” or
FTM
performance in everyday life? In what ways is FTM drag
political?
(How) Do performances of masculinity
intersect/overlap with performances of
social class, race,
ethnicity, age, sexual identity? How do feminists,
dyke
communities, gay men, transgendered communities, Hollywood, or
middle
America respond to drag kings? What historical or
non-Western precedents
exist for today’s drag kings? Scholarly essays and
personal memoirs
are welcome, as are photos and illustrations.
Interested parties are
encouraged to contact any of the editors listed below
before the deadline to
discuss their future submissions. The deadline for
receipt of
completed manuscripts is June 15, 2000. Submissions should be no
longer than
10,000 words, including notes and references. Three paper
copies
should be mailed to Kathleen LeBesco at the address below:
