Abstract

By analyzing the television series Pose as a commentary on the 1990 documentary Paris is Burning, this essay explores the long history of trans cultural production being read (incorrectly) as antagonistic to Marxist theory and argues that formal analysis reveals how trans cultural production can effectively interrogate how subcultures use parody and performance to critique dominant values.
