| Résumé : | This article reads Panti’s Noble Call at the Abbey theatre on 1 February 2014 in the light of Didier Eribon’s work on the experience of insult as constitutive of gay subjectivity. However, it goes on to argue that Panti’s narrated experience of stigma, internalised shame and failed self-discipline also reflects the young Irish postcolonial nation’s self-imposed task of performing heteronormative modernity. The drag queen’s performance, turning shame into exhibitionism, points to alternative ways of performing Irishness which reconnect with traditional, non-modern forms of Irish performative practices. |
