The Emergence of Trans: Cultures, Politics and Everyday Lives: Gender, Bodies and Transformation

Editat de Ruth Pearce, Igi Moon, Kat Gupta, Deborah Lynn Steinberg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 iul 2019
This book represents the vanguard of new work in the rapidly growing arena of Trans Studies. Thematically organised, it brings together studies from an international, cross-disciplinary range of contributors to address a range of questions pertinent to the emergence of trans lives and discourses. Examining the ways in which the emergence of trans challenges, develops and extends understandings of gender and reconfigures everyday lives, it asks how trans lives and discourses articulate and contest with issues of rights, education and popular common-sense. With attention to the question of how trans has shaped and been shaped by new modes of social action and networking, The Emergence of Trans also explores what the proliferation of trans representation across multiple media forms and public discourse suggests about the wider cultural moment, and considers the challenges presented for health care, social policy, gender and sexuality theory, and everyday articulations of identity. As such, it will appeal to scholars and students of gender and sexuality studies, as well as activists, professionals and individuals interested in trans lives and discourses.

Recenzii

"This important book brings together key figures in contemporary trans academia, activism and art, to explore the notion of ‘trans’ in all its complexity. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to learn, from those who really know, about trans identities and trans lives. Its key message is one of hope, and at a time when trans people face a renewed backlash against their very existence, this text will nourish them and their allies for the struggle. This fascinating, multidimensional project is a model for the kind of thinking and politics we all need today." - Alison Phipps, Professor of Gender Studies, University of Sussex, UK"The Emergence of Trans is a much-needed and multi-faceted exploration of how the meaning of trans has taken shape. A range of brilliant essays and artwork plot the breakaway of trans from a history of discourses that position trans as degenerate and pathological to become a term that reflects a myriad of identities and experiences today. It also looks towards the future, to the potential that trans holds to change the world for everyone."- Jay Stewart, CEO, Gendered Intelligence, UK
"The Emergence of Trans: Cultures, Politics and Everyday Life is a must read for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of trans life, history, culture and politics. I would recommend it to every healthcare provider’s reading list." - Asa Radix, Director of Research and Education, Callen-Lorde Community Health Centre, New York, USA
"The Emergence of Trans’ is a compelling read. I was drawn into each chapter and eager to read each author’s contribution. The book makes for an insightful and thought-provoking read for all interested in the exploration of identities. With the flowering of trans identities this discussion has never been more relevant than now. This book reflects much of the work we see at cliniQ with people exploring their identity in our therapeutic service, and brings the discussion of what is means to be trans into focus." - Michelle Ross, Director of cliniQ sexual health and well-being service, London, UK
"Brilliant - captivating razor-sharp theory without pretence or obfuscation, this collection embraces the creative, playful, exploratory dimensions of scholastic enquiry. A vital and cohesive contribution to Transgender Studies within Social Sciences." - Ben Vincent, Open University Research Fellow, Chair of Gender Identity Research & Education Society (GIRES)
