Staking Our Claim: Self-Making, World-Making and Survival in Trans-Authored Narratives

Jennifer Tyburczy, Professor of Feminist Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara

As a UC President's Postdoctoral Fellow, I will both complete the arc of my dissertation by writing a fifth chapter focused on trans sexuality as found in photographs, cinema, and pornography and work on my next research project, tentatively titled Trans Then & Now: an Archival and Ethnographic Study of French & Francophone Trans Resistance through Writing and Art. I am here interested in proposing an analysis of trans narratives of the self that continues to complicate the white-centric trans respectability politics identified in my dissertation and that hints at the need to consider ever-changing technology as a central crux for our understandings of transness. My new research project also highlights how trans people have used the novel, poetry, theater, photography, digital literature and other technological tools, as self-making and self-archiving practices to counter cis-centric discourses and the violent erasure enacted by the normative gaze of the archive and the canon.
