| This thesis examines the co-creation of drag king identities and the spaces, queer and otherwise, which they utilize for performance. I investigate who exercises the power of production of these spaces, how these powers are contested, and the political motivations and effects of drag kinging. Here I attend to the opening of queer spaces to a straight public and the movements of drag kings into spaces not demarcated as “queer”, and how these spaces are utilized, contested, and marked by their performances. The thesis draws on recent developments in queer theory, embodiment, and translocal developments to analyze how a local/global perspective informs queer spaces and identities, and the effects of drag, both on performers and audiences, as well as politically, as part of efforts to decolonialize normative spaces.
