I start with language and the use of ungendered pronouns in many languages around the world, to the inclusion of a non-binary or third gender on various forms of national ID and even birth certificates. The world has changed much over the past few decades; many gender inclusion efforts can be attributed to drag and the work of LGBTQIA+ members, including actors, activists, filmmakers, and playwrights who have supported and implemented drag into their work. Drag culture is even more relevant now than ever as gender fluidity and genderqueer people are more widely recognized and accepted. While discussing the history of drag, it goes without saying that the work of Judith Butler and Susan Sontag must be included. I delve into \"Gender Trouble\" and \"Notes on Camp\" to kick off our conversation of gender identity and stage presence shaping the history of film and television around the world. From there, a brief history of the themes of drag and cross-dressing on stage in many forms of theatre, including Japanese kabuki theatre and of course in Shakespeare comedies. Finally, the history of drag within film – starting with \"Viktor und Viktoria\" (1933) before getting into the cult classics such as \"Some Like It Hot\" (1959) and \"The Rocky Horror Picture Show\" (1975). All of these films have shaped the industry and remain to be influential even decades after their release. I conclude the thesis by summing up the previous sections, and recognizing that drag has been a theme integrated into culture over several centuries; largely normalized and revered for its influence on film, television, stage, and music. I invite the reader to think of the many films and television shows they have fondly watched that implemented drag culture."]},{"key":"dc:format","label":"Dc Format","values":["application/pdf"]},{"key":"dc:title","label":"Title","values":["Dragtime: The Queering of Modern Film and Television through Drag Culture Integration in the 20th and 21st Centuries"]}]}],"canonical_facts":{"dc:contributor":["Anastasopoulos, Dimitri","English"],"dc:creator":["Marchese, Katie; 0000-0001-7723-0873"],"dc:date":["2022-06-21T15:48:00Z","2020"],"dc:description":["M.A.","Over the course of this research paper, I discuss the importance of gender fluidity and the influence of drag culture through film and television.
