Rupaul's Drag Race and Philosophy: Sissy That ThoughtAs RuPaul has said, this is the Golden Age of Drag and that's chiefly the achievement of RuPaul's Drag Race, which in its eleventh year is more popular than ever, and has now become fully mainstream in its appeal. The show has an irresistible allure for folks of all persuasions and proclivities. Yet serious or philosophical discussion of its exponential success has been rare. Now at last we have RuPaul's Drag Race and Philosophy, shining the light on
As RuPaul has said, this is the Golden Age of Drag--and that's chiefly the achievement of RuPaul's Drag Race, which in its eleventh year is more popular than ever, and has now become fully mainstream in its appeal. The show has an irresistible allure for folks of all persuasions and proclivities. Yet serious or philosophical discussion of its exponential success has been rare. Now at last we have RuPaul's Drag Race and Philosophy, shining the light on all dimensions of this amazing phenomenon: theories of gender construction and identity, interpretations of RuPaul's famous quotes and phrases, the paradoxes of reality shows, the phenomenology of the drag queen, and how the fake becomes the truly authentic. Among the topics covered: ● How the show's controversial contestant The Vixen was able to proclaim her own truth by challenging the conventional stereotypes of reality TV. ● If, as RuPaul has taught us, all social roles are equivalent to drag, what justifies the show's almost exclusive focus on the classical drag queen? ● Nietzsche's insight that the self is plural rather than singular, divided rather than unified, helps us construct a new kind of self--the "drag self." ● When two fan subcultures meet: The interpenetration of RuPaul's Drag Race and Twin Peaks in "Fire Werk with Me." ● The lip-sync is the final challenge of the glamorous gauntlet of RuPaul's Drag Race, a game without rules or clear expectations that forces us to think about the meaning of play. ● New technologies of surveillance analyze and classify us in order to fix our identities; we can defend ourselves by creating our own masks, to preserve our privacy and define our own identities. ● Drag queens and mall Santas as performances of gender roles.Binding Type: Paperback

Works great once assembled
Color: Black
I had an experienced handyman attach the wheels, and even he was confused since the instructions are poor. So allow yourself some extra time to assemble the wheels. However, once attached and placed upright, the wheels are smooth and its very easy to position. And it folds up into a small footprint just as advertised. Looks great. No issues with quality.

Game-changer for me
Color: Light Grey
I’ve had a basement office for a while. I share a big room with my work bench. I’ve always just had a curtain hanging between the two, but after a promotion, I decided it was time for something more professional looking. This divider is awesome, and move-able when I need the space for my workbench activities.
The frame is very sturdy - impressively sturdy even. The felt walls are thick enough to take even heavy duty tacks.
There are three things that could make it even better, but none of them are enough to knock a star off my review, because this is truly a quality piece of office gear.
1. Put a magnetic strip on the top bars so that you could hang a little heavier items or add magnetic hooks. I plan to buy some magnetic tape to allow for this.
2. Allow the panels to be locked at the top. The locking wheels do a decent job of keeping everything in place, but if you could also lock the top of the frames, it would greatly increase stability. Note that it is already quite stable, but the top locks would make it very similar to actual cubicle walls.
3. Put a swivel caster on the middle wheel bars. This would allow you to configure the panels and the “feet” at angles other than 90 degrees when desired.
Again, these suggestions would take a fantastic item and put it into 6-star rarefied air. It is truly a great product as-is, but I would gladly pay another $100 for this item if it had these additional features.
