In the past few decades, scholars and members of the general public have questioned the idea of a stable and binary gender identity, which has caused debates in both the anglophone and francophone worlds. Redcar, also known as Christine and the Queens, as well as Chris, is a particularly interesting public figure concerning gender identity and expression because his relationship has evolved throughout his career. The artist has been remarkably open about his relationship with gender throughout the last decade, which has been in the public eye. Redcar is also someone who has found himself between the anglophone and francophone worlds – he expresses a cultural identity that is neither altogether French nor anglophone, but hybrid.\u0000 \u0000 As a musician whose journey with gender has been more or less public, it raises the question: How does Redcar use his music, videos, and persona to navigate and express his evolving relationship with gender? Through the use of gender and queer theories, this article demonstrates how Redcar has used these elements to examine and redefine his own gender. This essay will look specifically at the construction of his celebrity persona, followed by a lyrical analysis of the song “iT” from his first album\u0000 Chaleur humaine\u0000 (2014) and a scenic analysis from the music video for “5 dols/5 dollars” from his second album\u0000 Chris\u0000 (2018) to demonstrate how Redcar’s public experience of gender exploration works to deconstruct the idea of a static gender and instead demonstrates how gender is always in a process of renegotiation.\u0000","PeriodicalId":53563,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary French Civilization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138967742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nous verrons plus en détails comment le travail de Letissier occupe une place à part au sein de ce groupe, en ce qu’il nous apparaît comme le seul artiste ayant fait du questionnement sur l’identité de genre la pierre angulaire de son œuvre, donnant au corps et à sa mise en scène une place centrale en tant que vecteur de ses questionnements intimes. Une étude de certains textes et de certaines prestations scéniques ainsi que de clips vidéo nous permettra de mettre en lumière la manière dont Letissier a su communiquer son évolution personnelle à son public, tant par le biais des mots que du corporel. Cela nous mènera au constat que tout ce qui pourrait passer pour artifice – recours à l’anglais dans les textes, influence musicales nombreuses et variées, adoption de diverses persona au fil de sa carrière – sont autant d’éléments qui permettent à l’artiste de traduire la vérité d’une identité mouvante et contestataire qui vient remettre en question les stéréotypes de genre.\u0000","PeriodicalId":53563,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary French Civilization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138995426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His selections frequently are interpretations of hits from the 1980s and 1990s. However they are more than the chance to share a nostalgic trip with the audience. In France, he often chooses familiar songs by much-loved singers from the French tradition, thus reassuring them of his Frenchness, despite his growing position on the world stage. On platforms overseas, he often selects huge hits by global anglophone stars, so claiming his place amongst the most successful international British and American performers, albeit that he is French.\u0000 \u0000 Using interviews, reviews, and music videos, my research looks in detail at two examples of cover versions by Christine and the Queens, one in French and one in English, exploring why these songs were selected for these particular moments. First, I examine his performance of Mylène Farmer’s “California” on Taratata Live in September 2018. In choosing this song, Chris aligns himself not only with one of the most provocative and daring French singers, but also one deeply supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. The track, with its topics of escape and reinvention in Los Angeles, has resonance for Chris’s own experience, and the original video shares themes of transactional sex and power with Christine and the Queens’s own video for “5 Dollars.” Next, I consider his performance of George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90” at the Global Citizen in September 2021. Chris sets himself alongside a very high-profile, gay artist who battled to reclaim his musical and personal identity after an early career in a worldfamous, highly commercial pop duo. In doing so, he lays out his desire to break from the shackles of the success of his first album,\u0000 Chaleur humaine\u0000 , and to have the freedom to evolve, as an artist and in his place as a trans man.\u0000","PeriodicalId":53563,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary French Civilization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138967205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
