BRAZILIAN DRAG SUPERSTARS IN BOLSONARO'S ERA

This 100 page publication aims to analyze the images that are built by Brazilian drag superstars Pabllo Vittar, Gloria Groove, and Linn da Quebrada, inserted in the context of Brazil, a country that has elected Jair Bolsonaro as a fascist president. Relating mainly with how pop and the internet have been a medium of expression, agents for the construction of our identity, and perhaps even a weapon to combat the patriarchy and heteronormativity. But by coincidence (or not), they fail (or not) and also give rise to fake news, WhatsApp chains, a country with the highest LGBT murder rate, a ‘gay conversion therapy’ law approved in 2017, and now a fascist president. Pop and the internet are egalitarian, pop and the internet are for everyone. Thus, pop and the internet could be looked at a knife that cuts on both sides and that is held by the victimizer and victim, that could be a tool and medium of resistance and/or propaganda. The publication a collection of materials that explain not why but how those realities are living in the same country and who are the public characters of these stories.
