Aesthetic Camp: performances pop and subcultures .

Historically the science speech established that the relation between sex and gender is something natural, thanks for the analyses of Judith Butler these theories have been to re-thinking .Butler defines this relation between sex and gender like standardized performative and according to heterocentric rules. A clear example as it indicates Butler, are the Drag Queens. Normally these provoke laughter or censorships, because they show the performatives mechanisms through which a stable relation (a regulated process of repetition) between sex and gender takes place.

Maria recommended me the reading of Sontag published about the aesthetic "camp". The term "camp", that means effeminate in English classic, was begun to use as of years 60 to talk about to the hyperbolic theatrehood of the feminity in the culture gay, mainly in relation to a series of performatives practices that acquired a collective character and political (drag queens, public demonstration of the homosexualiti...). These practices discover the skilful of the gender provoking differences and broking the border between the closed scope of the scenic representation (or of the domestic recreation) and the public space of the political vindication. The text of Sontag agrees with first documents on the practices Drag Queens (among others the documentary The Queen de Andy Warhol) .
On this Sontag text redefines the term (that in its new meaning would come to designate to the love/unnatural, skillful taste towards and the exaggerated thing) and incorporates like criterion of analysis of the history and the theory of the art. The sad thing is that the writer is based excessively on the aesthetization of the concept, erasing the original political potentiality. For Sontag camp is a set of re-meaning techniques - where it mixes the irony, the burlesque thing, parody - that the new sensitivity symbolizes posmodern. She finish relationated camp with the pop , since both movements make using parody of the representations and objects of the popular culture.
