"Entrée en matière dans les coulisses du genre, le présent travail se penche sur les pratiques de construction et de présentation de soi des participant.e.s d'un atelier Drag King de Bruxelles. Il montre comment une approche interactionnelle et multisémiotique du genre ne peut pas faire l'économie de l'histoire individuelle et collective telle qu'elle est à la fois présente et remise en cause dans cet atelier. L'articulation de multiples dispositifs de genre issus de contextes plus ou moins éloignés dans le temps débouche sur une vision politique et polyphonique des pratiques de transformation corporelle par les Drag Kings. Cet atelier ne se situe pas uniquement dans une tradition des pratiques Drag et de travestissement qui tout à la fois les contraint et les inspire : il suscite également de futures constructions et présentations de soi qui font que de nouveaux corps, de nouveaux soi et de nouveaux langages verront bientôt le jour. Complémentaires plutôt que contradictoires, les approches théoriques mises en œuvre (Goffman, Butler) permettent à l'auteur de prendre en compte les dimensions multiples des données recueillies - linguistiques, interactionnelles et corporelles, collectives et personnelles, quotidiennes et artistiques, historiques et politiques - dans des cadres habituellement séparés par les frontières disciplinaires. Quant à l'ethnographie polyphonique dont se réclame Luca Greco, elle lui permet de comprendre « de l'intérieur » quels procédés sont mobilisés par les Drag Kings pour construire un soi pluriel - parfois paradoxal - ainsi que la façon dont ce soi se construit et se donne à voir comme résultat." --

In this book Barbara J. Risman uses her gender structure theory to tackle the question about whether today’s young people, Millennials, are pushing forward the gender revolution or backing away from it. In the first part of the book, Risman revises her theoretical argument to differentiate more clearly between culture and material aspects of each level of gender as a social structure. She then uses previous research to explain that today’s young people spend years in a new life stage where they are emerging as adults. The new research presented here offers a typology of how today’s young people wrestle with gender during the years of emerging adulthood. How do they experience gender at the individual level? What are the expectations they face because of their sex? What are their ideological beliefs and organizational constraints based on their gender category? Risman suggests there is great variety within this generation. She identifies four strategies used by young people: true believers in gender difference, innovators who want to push boundaries in feminist directions, straddlers who are simply confused, and rebels who sometimes identify as genderqueer and reject gender categories all together. The final chapter offers a utopian vision that would ease the struggles of all these groups, a fourth wave of feminism that rejects the gender structure itself. Risman envisions a world where the sex ascribed at birth matters has few consequences beyond reproduction.

Gender performativity, its variances depending on their historical, social and cultural contexts, and the rituals, representations and institutions involved in gender performances are some of the issues the authors addressed in this collection. Gender under Construction takes a non-essentialist view of gender and provides illustrative examples of gender constructive processes by pursuing them in various contexts and by means of diverse methodologies. In so doing, the book demonstrates that it is unfeasible to consider gender as a fixed biological trait. Instead, the authors propose to look at gender performance as ongoing processes in which femininities and masculinities enter multiple and dynamic intersections with a myriad of categories, including those of nationality, ethnicity, class, sexuality and age. Contributors are Iqbal Akthar, Renata Ćuk, Ewa Glapka, Deirdre Hynes, Borja Ibaseta, Martin King, Ana Cristina Moreira Lima, Mervi Patosalmi, Marcia Bastos de Sá, Andréa Costa da Silva, Vera Helena Ferraz de Siqueira, Christi van der Westhuizen and Isabelle V. Zinn.
