Omschrijving
This book takes the globally recognised phenomenon of drag king performances as an opportunity for critical inquiry into the rise and fall of an urban scene for lesbian and queer women in Sydney, Australia (circa 1999-2012).
“This book is a much needed and timely contribution to queer and performance studies as well as to feminist geography. … Drysdale’s book is much more than just an entertaining account of one of Sydney’s subcultures as she offers a theoretically nuanced expansion of concepts of scene and scene thinking. … this book is a much-welcomed contribution to its field as other scholars can draw on Drysdale’s work to fill the gaps the present case study was unable to cover.” (Maryna Shevtsova, Gender, Place & Culture, October 15, 2019)
