Abstract

This chapter examines the imaginative aspects of performance, drawing on fieldwork conducted in drag king workshops in Brussels. To collectively imagine a future performance, participants navigate between several possible chronotopes, including a present space-time (the here-and-now of the interaction, in which participants think of a performance that has not yet taken place) and a past space-time (in which participants recruit cultural models in order to think about an upcoming performance). The ethnographic, linguistic, and interactional analysis sheds light on “staged” and “everyday” performances, refreshes the debate between performance and performativity, and highlights creative assemblages of bodies, spatialities, and temporalities. The chapter suggests that a consideration of imagination in the analysis of performance will enhance language and sexuality research by reframing gender through the idea of a body that exceeds itself and carries the power to transform lives.
