Notes on Beauty Queens
Ambivalence:
Raw emotions / Staged emotions
Attracted / Repelled
Campy qualities: overdoing gender performance
Repressive system
Candidates have to be unmarried, no children, not pregnant etc
Moment of extreme joy on image cropped out turns into something else as if these woman are about to experience something horrible
Reference to Elisabeth Bronfen on the Diva: Diva vs Celebrity - the celebrity known through images through media (photo and TV), she embodies arbitariness and exchangebility of celebrities.
Die Diva verkörpert große Leidenschaften und schillert zwischen symbolischem und realem Körper (stereotypen/partikularen), sich daran aufreibend.
