Investigación

Proyecto: The Travelling Venuses: Brazilian Travestis, Transformistas and Drag Queens in German Travestieshow (1960s-Today)

Directora de Tesis: Prof. Dr Stephanie Schütze

Since the 1960s Brazilian travestis, transformistasand drag queens have been performing on stages in Western Europe. This proposal analyses the constitution of artistic and professional careers of Brazilian migrants in the Travestieshow scene in Germany, from the 1960s onwards, observing transformations and continuities in a globalized entertainment market. By investigating migration projects related to artistic careers, the proposal addresses gaps in the scholarship on Brazilian migration to Germany and LGBTQ migration from Brazil to Europe. Through an analysis of the social markers of difference (such as race and nationality) in both artists’ and media discourses, I seek to understand the role of racial and national stereotypes in artistic careers and the entertainment sector. The methodology is based on archive research, in-depth interviews, participant observation, and digital ethnography. Research outputs consist of an ethnography of Brazilian migrant artists in Germany, theoretical developments on migration, social markers of difference and anthropology of transnational networks.
