TRANS

What happened in the last few decades to prompt such an extensive rethinking of our understanding of gendered embodiment? How did a stigmatized identity become so central to U.S. and European articulations of self? And how have people responded to the new definiti ons and understanding of sex and the gendered body? In Trans*, Jack Halberstam explores these recent shifts in the meaning of the ge ndered body and representation, and explores the possibilities of a nongendered, gender-optional, or gender-queer future.
