Esther Newton, Cherry Grove Gay, Identidade e Representação, Identidade LésbicaResumo
O artigo reluz o universo de Cherry Grove, uma comunidade de gays e lésbicas em Fire Island, acompanhando suas dinâmicas de poder e representação. Esther Newton examina a eleição de uma lésbica como rainha do baile, evento tradicional da comunidade, cujo cargo deve ser ocupado por um homem gay em drag, segundo uma regra tácita. A eleição de Joan Van Ness desestabiliza essa regra e desencadeia reflexões sobre identidade, gênero e poder. Ao analisar as reações da comunidade e as implicações desse ato simbólico, Newton nuança as complexas interações entre diferentes grupos, destacando tensões e alianças que moldam as relações sociais nesse contexto.
