Inhaltsangabe

Filling a gap in literature and fulfilling the need for trans-focused work, TransNarratives is an interdisciplinary collection featuring narratives of transgender experiences, providing a sourcebook of a range of trans perspectives, writing styles, and trans methodological fields of applicability. The works included transcend disciplinary boundaries in the pursuit of academic knowledge and creativity, actively deconstructing binaries wherever they begin to appear, whether with regard to gender, race, ability, or sexuality, or to the binary divisions that can sometimes separate academic and creative production.

Calling attention to transgender writers, this unique and timely text showcases a wide variety of material, including scholarship from multi- and interdisciplinary transgender perspectives, poetry and fiction that foregrounds trans experience, and first-person transgender narratives. The essays, poems, and stories cover a range of topics relevant to transgender, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary experiences, across time, geographic location, and cultures. An important addition to the field, this groundbreaking text will serve as an essential collection of works for students and researchers in transgender studies, queer studies, and gender studies.

FEATURES:

  • Provides accessible, thematically wide-ranging, and stylistically diverse writings, including scholarship from multi- and interdisciplinary transgender perspectives
  • Includes multi-generational perspectives and non-able-bodied subjectivities
  • Uniquely formatted to support a dialogue between creative and scholarly work

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Filling a gap in the literature and addressing a need for more trans-focused work, TransNarratives is a multi-genre interdisciplinary collection of works centred on narratives of transgender experiences. Representing a range of trans perspectives, writing styles, and methodological fields of applicability, this book provides students and teachers with a multidisciplinary set of readings that are all connected by trans methodologies. The essays, poems, stories, and hybrid works that make up this text cover a range of topics relevant to transgender, gender non-conforming, and nonbinary experiences across time, geographic location, and culture.

The pieces in this collection take the validity and value of transgender lives as a given, challenge and transcend disciplinary boundaries in the pursuit of academic knowledge and creativity, and actively deconstruct binaries wherever they begin to appear. Complete with questions for critical discussion and a glossary of terms on gender and sexuality, TransNarratives is a valuable resource for courses in trans studies, lgbtq studies, gender studies, English and creative writing courses that focus on lgbtq and gender topics, and sociology.
