| Summary: | 碩士 === 世新大學 === 新聞學研究所(含碩專班) === 100 === This is a thesis written as a self-ethnography for Drag Queen’s identification. It’s a special study with effects of self-healing and social activism.
The whole thesis consists of two main paragraphs -
Chap. 3 & Chap. 4 Narration of self-life and experience
There are three tags rooted on my body and soul – Sissy Boy / A Drag-Gay, Labor Family and A Patient with Melancholia. These tags have heavily affected my self-identification for a very long time. Now I still can’t find my own future and hold hope. All the experience of life shapes my theory “Life should be ended in 30”. I highly doubt if I have chance to own happiness. Sometimes I don’t believe happiness would fall on me. You can say my hopeless attitude is reflecting my mind – I just want to escape from reality. But as time goes by, I read lots of discourses about genders and queer, and I met many role-models, in the same situation like mine. I finally found I am not alone. In stead, I have resources in a specific context where I can absorb strength to fight and “Fuck Off” the prejudice and discrimination in all type. So I am not that helpless victim anymore, I turned into be a Drag Queen full of agency.
Chap.5 Drag Queen Activism
Carrying Drag Queen Agency, I slip and flee in the deepest and darkest part of this society. I wish I could be accepted by people, but I don’t want to be tamed by the dull gender- dualistic society. My conflicting position causes my fights over the main values again and again. I realized that I can’t change the world by my imagination. Devoting to social activism is the only way to fight back and make the world change little by little. During the “Fuck Off”, I was surprised by realizing my body, a Drag Queen’s body, could also be a battlefield. I use my body and soul to fight and fight, on the streets, in the parade, in the congress and in this thesis. The activism and fighting energy should trace back to my suffering childhood.
By recording the social activism triggered by Drag Queens, I observed and analyze the special position and the interaction between them and others in the society.
