Drag fever. Beneath the glitter, still the rage? An interview with Apolline Bazin (Divergences Publishing)

What happens when a culture, long marginalized and a minority, becomes a social phenomenon? Since the arrival of the show "Drag Race" in France, drag is everywhere, even at the Olympic Games. This art of cross-dressing is captivating a new audience, and outside of show business, initiatives are flourishing throughout the country. This book recounts the evolution of the French drag scene since the arrival of the ubiquitous reality TV show, and reflects on a particular moment of visibility for LGBTQ+ struggles and cultures. The author explores the future of this queer culture, caught between a form of standardization and the threat of reaction.
