    Performance Drag Queen: El arte como escenario político
    (Universidad Tècnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Comunicaciòn, 2024-08) Guevara Freire, Karen Mishell; Brito Alvarado, Leonardo Xavier
    Currently, the concept of art has been diluted by multiple discourses of contemporary thought such as postmodernity, virtuality and technological advances, creating confusion about what art is. This has led to superficial imitations, falling into discourses of banality of the modern world. It is crucial to retake art as an artistic and political manifestation, its original definition. Art is not only a space where aesthetics of the beautiful, the ugly, the sublime or the abstract converge, but also a political space. This research highlights the need for an interdisciplinary dialogue in the Social Sciences, where thoughts about gender, subject, body vindication and communication converge, moving away from punitive and reductionist views that generate oppression and discrimination. This topic is relevant for the communicational debate and to open the dialogue on historically invisible scenarios. The methodological approach of the research is divided into two moments. The first is a theoretical and bibliographical tour to discuss the categories and concepts present, such as art, drag, performance and theater. This in order to build a solid epistemic route to reflect from communication on scenarios made invisible by historical, social and political conjunctures. In the second moment, a semiotic analysis of the performance presented by Larvarye during the "Dragada Por La Diversidad" is developed. In addition, interviews are conducted to obtain a greater wealth of information and to understand how drag art uses various elements to convey ideas. Queer and feminist theories question gender binarity and sexual norms, promoting the recognition of diverse identities as human rights. Semiotic analysis and interviews reveal that drag performance uses symbols to rethink and challenge social norms, becoming a tool for critical reflection and social transformation. Drag art is a testimony of resistance that addresses social, political and cultural issues, turning the body into a space of resistance and collective memory. Drag performance, as "artivism", opens a dialogue on inclusivity, social justice and rights, promoting greater empathy and understanding
