More Details

Summary:

"This collection by trans and non-trans academics and artists from the United States, the UK, continental Europe, and South Africa, examines how transgenderism can be conceptualized in a literary, biographical, and autobiographical framework, with emphasis on intimacy, erotics, agency, and experientiality. The volume covers the 1950s to the present day and examines autobiographical accounts, films featuring passing and various stages of transitioning, as well as interviews with trans people."-- [Provided by publisher]
