Abstract:

Abstract In the fantasy/speculative fiction young adult novel PET (2019), Akwaeke Emezi's fifteen-year-old Black trans girl protagonist, Jam, disrupts the traditional socio-cultural and medico-legal hindrances to Black trans girlhood's “liveness” by actively devising and participating in carefully staged scenes of intracommunal healing and transformative justice. With Jam's knowledge, history, and experience among Black people and community as a guiding light, this article argues that PET serves as a counternarrative to the erasure of Black trans girls in the Black radical tradition and inspir

Abstract:

This essay argues that Mary Robinson’s subversion of gender in her Gothic novel Walsingham (1797) is more radical than critics have suggested. I offer a trans reading of Walsingham that focuses on the evolution of Sir Sidney Aubrey’s nonnormative gender identity and behavior. Along with emphasizing transformation and embodiment, trans theory disrupts essentializing categories such as male, female, heterosexual, gay, and lesbian. It thus provides a useful lens through which to examine Walsingham, in which Sidney and the title character transition from one identity to another. I examine the tran

Abstract:

Abstract Repentant harlots who became trans saints presented Byzantine hagiographers with a challenge. Thought to exhibit a lack of self-control and the excessive sexuality, associated with women, and sex workers in particular, – a subject of great concern for monastic authors – how could members of this stigmatized group achieve the standards of Christian piety, let alone saintly behavior? In portraying its fictional protagonist as an exemplum of masculine virtues in the context of nascent Palestinian monasticism, the anonymous Life of Pelagia highlights the non-binariness of social identitie

Abstract:

Drawing primarily on the work of Derrida, this paper provides an analysis of Belfast writer Anna Burns’ award-winning novel Milkman (2018) from the perspectives of secrecy, hauntology and the crypt, with the aim of offering new insights into the ungraspable haunting effects of trans-generational trauma. Two literary applications of the crypt are studied: a severed cat’s head found by the protagonist in the so called ‘ten-minute area’, and cryptic letters stuffed inside an old ragdoll and hidden in plain sight. I propose that the speculative conclusions reached as a result of this study not onl

It raises questions such as whether women can commit femicide, whether giving birth makes women mothers forever, and whether trans individuals belong in the feminist movement.

Its mechanism connotatively implies the aspect of the reality of balance and changes in the world in the Book of Changes.

Abstract:

Scholars have hailed Wendy Delorme's first novel, Quatrième génération (Grasset, 2007), and subsequent narratives as pioneering for their introduction of Queer Studies, gender performativity, sex-positive feminism, genderqueer and trans* identities to a mainstream French audience. Researchers have, however, and thus far, rarely focused on the more literary aspects of Delorme's books. This article suggests that Quatrième génération also constitutes a neopicaresque narrative since Delorme takes both her protagonist, Marion, and her readers on a literal and metaphorical learning journey through q

The Bildungsroman in a Genocidal Age argues that the humanist ideal of Bildung, the cultivation of the potentialities of the self through self-reflection, travel, and varied social intercourse, has been revitalized in an age of genocidal violence. It examines the Bildungsroman as a flourishing intermedial genre encompassing contemporary historical fiction, historical feature films, and children’s and YA literature. Analysing a number of highly influential novels and films about the Holocaust and World War II (WWII), the book argues that the narrative strategies of the Bildungsroman, which incl

Abstract:

The author's 1994 essay, “My Words to Victor Frankenstein above the Village of Chamounix,” is a founding text of trans studies. It is addressed to Victor Frankenstein, the protagonist of Mary Shelley’s novel, and it is structured around the unnaturalness of the trans body (like that of the novel's monster). In its theorization of transgender rage, the essay demonstrates how trans politics, like queer politics, entails the recognition that certain emotions are not private, isolated experiences—that shame, fear, despair, and rage are social and political. the piece works through aesthetic questi

This chapter examines current Queer Gothic video games that focus on positive and empowering aspects of the gaming experience.

Abstract:

To theorize the present condition of trans women under unprecedented historical surveillance, this chapter examines the ambivalence and erotic deflation of a “stoner neo-noir” cinema subgenre. This genre’s principles were sketched in 1970s noir revival movies (Chinatown, The Long Goodbye) and became a staple of later output (The Big Lebowski, Inherent Vice, Under the Silver Lake). These movies share a stoned protagonist (a detective, or “dick”) and a Southern Californian location. They also depart from traditional noir by emplotting mysteries that provoke speculations into the nature of suspic

Abstract:

Past and present postmodern nomadic epistemologies as well as the gendered dimensions of nomadism have often served as intellectual sites of resistance to destabilize totalizing hegemonies and ideologies often sustained in the name of nation-states and nationalisms. In this context, this study traces the nomadic post/trans-national ventures of Shamsie’s protagonist Hiroko Tanaka, in Burnt Shadows, that define her life in an anti-genealogical spatial stance akin to rhizomatic existence rather than in a chronological temporal frame. For this purpose, this research employs Braidotti’s notion of n

Vonnegut is explicit that he is writing a late-Sixties anti-war novel and makes his protagonist, Billy Pilgrim, as unmilitary as possible. The trans-national cartels that enabled the V-2 rocket attacks against the Allies in Pynchon’s novel anticipate the military-industrial complex of his own time. But the novels’ stance

Protagonist Blanche Vernon’s nympholepsy is related to the text’s sensual motifs and the intertextual matrix surrounding the ancient Greek poet Sappho. The novel’s early reception is reviewed, including comments by Frank Kermode and John Bayley whose gendered readings obscure the text’s symbolism. On the contrary—emblematic of contested narratives of lesbian sexuality, women’s writing and political subversion in Sapphic texts by Charles Baudelaire and Renée Vivien—Sappho b

Abstract:

This chapter analyses the visual representations of the Vie de sainte Eufrosine in three fourteenth-century Parisian manuscripts. It questions how two medieval artists, the Maubeuge Master and the Fauvel Master, approached illustrating the text’s protagonist St Eufrosine/Esmarade, a figure assigned female at birth who lives most of their life as a eunuch in a monastic community. This chapter examines the artists’ depiction of St Eufrosine/Esmarade in three manuscript miniatures, comparing how the artists used signifiers of gender and identity in their portrayals of the saint and other figures

Abstract:

Eunuch saints presented Byzantine hagiographers with serious challenges. Thought to suffer from an inherent and egregious lack of self-control, how could members of this marginalized group meet the minimum requirements of good Christian behaviour, let alone aspire to sainthood? Niketas David’s tenth-century Life of Patriarch Ignatios offers one medieval exploration of this question. In depicting his eunuch protagonist as an exemplar of specifically masculine virtues, Niketas suggests a definition of masculinity more complicated than that of the traditional eunuch/ non-eunuch binary current ove
