Not so much...
First of all, I have to apologize for my tardiness. I couldn't get the blog to open on my computer.
Anyway, I agree with Aitken and Lukinbeal in that I believe that "Priscilla" does in fact return to the logic of hegemonic masculinity. Before I could answer this question though, I did have to look up the word hegemony which I found to be defined as: a concept that has been used to describe the existence of dominance of one social group over another. In the case of "Priscilla," I believe that the goal was to liberate the freedom of a male presence in a woman's socially defined norm. However, every time the men dressed as drag queens it was a very humorous part of the film. I do not think that they were liberated in any sense of the word. Especially because they returned to the safe haven which they left in the beginning. Mitzi especially makes a journey towards hegemony rather than liberation. Aitken and Lukinbeal state that, "The road trip to Alice Springs is an attempt ot contest these contrived spaces of difference, but it is also about coming to terms with other hegemonic norms such as family and fatherhood. Mitzi was ready to try and be the "normal father" but instead he simply got lucky in the fact that he was already well educated in the world that Mitzi comes from. Before he realized that though, Mitzi was embarrassed by his lifestyle. I just don't think that the film gave me any new information that I didn't already know about the hardships that transgendered people go through, and I don't know much to begin with.
