Abstract

Long description: Trans*Sichtbarkeit hat in den letzten Jahren einen Höhepunkt erreicht, so auch in TV- und Streaming-Serien. Sie geht mit Prozessen sozialer Popularisierung und akademischer Legitimierung einher. Inwiefern bildet die fiktionale Darstellung von trans*Personen ihre vielfältige Wirklichkeit ab, die von selbstbestimmten Lebensentwürfen ebenso wie von Diskriminierung und Gewalt geprägt ist? Wenn es stimmt, dass Serien Gesellschaft- und Identifikationsmodelle hervorbringen, welche Chancen und Gefahren sind dann mit ihrer Verbreitung verbunden? Die Autor_innen gehen diesen Frage anhand von ausgewählten europäischen Serien nach. Biographical note: Danae Gallo González, Dr. phil., ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin für hispanische und lusophone Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft am Institut für Romanistik der Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen.

Abstract

"Do we need bodies for sex? Is gender in the head or in the body? In Second Skins Jay Prosser reveals the powerful drive that leads men and women literally to shed their skins and--in flesh and head--to cross the boundary of sex. Telling their story is not merely an act that comes after the fact, it's a force of its own that makes it impossible to forget that stories of identity inhabit autobiographical bodies. In this stunning first extensive study of transsexual autobiography, Jay Prosser examines the exchanges between body and narrative that constitute the phenomenon of transsexuality. Showing how transsexuality's somatic transitions are spurred and enabled by the formal transitions of narrative, Prosser uncovers a narrative tradition for transsexual bodies. Sex change is a plot--and thus appropriately transsexuals make for adept and absorbing authors. In reading the transssexual plot through transsexuals' own recounting, Prosser not only gives us a new and more accurate rendition of transsexuality. His book suggests transsexuality, with itsextraordinary conjunctions of body and narrative, as an identity story that transitions across the body/language divide that currently stalls poststucturalist thought. The form and approach of Second Skins works to cross other important and parallel divides. In addition to analyzing transsexual textual accounts, the book includes some 30 photographic portraits of transsexuals--poignant attempts by transsexuals to present themselves unmediated to the world except by the camera. And the author does not shy from exposure himself. Interjecting the personal into his theoretical discussion and close textual work throughout the book, Prosser reads and writes his own body, his purpose in that stylistic crossing to stake out transsexuality--and hence this very book--as his own body's narrative." --

Abstract

When a person's sex assignment changes, has the old self disappeared and a new one emerged or has only the public presentation of one's self changed? 'You've Changed' examines the philosophical questions raised by the phenomenon of sex reassignment.

Abstract

While social change regarding trans(sexuality) has evolved within an expanding nexus of concepts, practices, regulations and institutions, this process has barely been analysed systematically. Against the background of legislative processes on gender recognition in a society shaped by heteronormative hegemony, Adrian de Silva traces how sexology, the law, federal politics and the trans movement interacted to generate or challenge concepts of trans(sexuality) from the mid-1960s to 2014 in the Federal Republic of Germany. The interdisciplinary study draws upon and contributes to debates in (trans)gender and queer studies, political science, sociology of law, sexology and the social movement. »Das vorliegende Buch leistet einen wertvollen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Debatten um Trans(sexualität) in der Bundesrepublik. Hochaktuell.« Anson Koch-Rein, www.querelles.net, 20/1 (2019)

Abstract

"Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people are becoming more and more visible in all aspects of American culture, from party politics to MTV videos. Despite the recent queer publishing explosion, few texts cover a broad range of topics around sexual and gender identities. Most existing works are high-level theory books, texts focused upon specific disciplines or topics, or practical guides aimed primarily at a heterosexual audience or people just beginning to come out. There has been to date no general, accessible, and inclusive work suitable for use as an introduction to Queer Studies. In this collection, contributors assess the conflict between postmodernism and identity, the concept which typically serves as a linchpin for social and political organizing. Others address queer theory, looking specifically at how we define it, how it informs political activism, and how we can theorize such aspects of sexual performance/behaviors as s/m or butch-femme relationships." --
