    I think he could have enlarged on the role of drag ("... the court jester...") more and pinpointed ot more. The jester was the only one who was allowed to make fun of the King/Queen/Emperor. So, the role is also to, through humor, criticize and point out the stupiditiy of certain rules and structures of power, I think.

    • @mishlake1
      @mishlake1 5 років тому +31

      You're exactly right. It's about transgression through the appearance of conformity. The fool (jester) is the most powerful person in the kingdom because only he gets to critique the king and influence his decision making. If he tells the king the truth and makes him laugh, then he is safe. If he is vulgar and offensive, he pays with his life. So he has to be clever enough to almost sugar-coat the powerful critique so that it appears like a satirical homage rather than a drag. It's a very fine line, which is what makes it so impressive when it's done well at high stakes.

      Johannes Halberstadt I get the homosexuals making fun of heterosexuals but by your definition of camp they should be women making fun of straight white old men, the last demographic who should be mocked is women with the logic of mocking who's in power. There was one episode of RuPaul's Drag Race that featured women and Ru had butches dressed up femininely, you couldn't give a more misogynistic pro bullying message then that. The concept you've portrayed of drag has a lot of potential but this execution couldn't be more off mark for the stated goals. Or maybe it's not off the mark and you're just not being accurate about what the goal is.

    • @thehoneyeffect
      @thehoneyeffect 5 років тому +4

      Following on from Johannes has said...
      A court jester is a type of clown… Like a comedian, or harlequin, or a hobo clown, drag queen, or a Morris dancer, a mime artist, a mascot, pantomime and minstrelsy even shamanism.
      Most clowns that originate from Europe were actually derived from blackface and the mockery of the moors (aka black people) and the long-standing subliminal fear that white people have of being genetically annihilated in Europe after the fall of the 800yr Moorish Empire in Spain 1492.
      Black face make up later turned into white face make up 🤡.
      The ‘court jester‘ has always made a commentary on cultural fears/absurdities/humour, be that pertaining to race, gender, class etc
      I agree with you he could’ve expanded on the topic but probably in some kind of seminar or talk not on a talk show.

      eiri goldpetal I agree with you in that her outfits were plain but I feel she fit theme perfectly. Camp doesn’t have to be over the top and extravagant imo. Lady Gaga changing from outfit to outfit was more of an performance. It seems to me that each outfit was an statement on some famous Hollywood archetypes and women. For example the black dress with the umbrella was very reminiscent of Mary Poppins, then it transitions to a a Barbie-esque of a superficial woman, then the final outfit was like you said lingerie but I got a femme fatal sense from it. She took 16 minutes changing from outfit to outfit surrounded by cameras all of them waiting to see what was next. I would argue that she fit the theme just fine.

    Ru Paul- the myth, the legend... the dork? Lol 😘
    What a beautiful soul.
    PS Kirsten Gillibrand: what a badass. An under appreciated Senator and candidate. She's a good person; plain and simple. I've seen her stay during hearings while EVERYONE else left for lunch, just to grill the people testifying. To get to the truth. To speak truth to power. To defend women (AND men). New York is lucky to have her.
