Queer Theorists, A Query Please

[purejuice]

I would like to know, if, in the vast gasbag annals of queer theory, any body like Judith Butler (who can be lucid, especially on Israel) has deconstructed "reading". Is it related to the dozens? I'm trying to track down RuPaul's citation of reading in Paris Is Burning, which certainly would suggest that reading originated in the black vogueing

Jesus. Fifteen years ago I tried so hard to get gay men a generation younger than me to watch PARIS IS BURNING.

This is what it was, I told them. THIS is what it WAS.

Thank you.

I guess I get it. Myself, primary sources, please.
