SUMMARY:

This thesis’ main objective is to investigate how the music produced by drag queens in Brazil works within the classification systems of musical genres. More specifically, I seek to tension the notion of musical genre, indicating extra-musical aspects as equally important for the categorization of music. Articulating theories of Performance Studies (TAYLOR, 2013) and musical genres (FRITH, 1996; BRACKETT, 2003; JANOTTI JR. 2003, 2006; LENA, 2012; FABBRI, 2017; JANOTTI JR. and PEREIRA DE SÁ , 2019), I seek to debate the musical genre beyond a fixed classification anchored to certain sound characteristics. With the writings of musicologist Georgina Born (2016) on the idea that musical genres are capable of forming imaginary universes I argue that what is called drag music is a label that can function as a musical genre by articulating sensitive experiences of identity and belonging. Thus, I bet on the understanding of drag music as a sensitive and imagined arrangement of pop music that operates within a classification system, functioning as a musical genre in certain contexts that unites artists, fans and productive and commercial processes around rules that are in constant mutation. Palavras chaves em português: gênero musical; drag music; estudos de performance.
