Boundaries of Gender Categories
Identity is the product of one's lives in and as bodies, located through the embodied experiences, gender expression and identity, and liminality. The study argues that the transgression from these coded and vexed boundaries of gender categories often translates to ‘abjection’, transphobic violence, systems of oppression, where hijras become intersecting identities within the dynamics of race, class, and gender, and are thus subjected to oppressi…
Deconstructing the Homonormative Spaces
A homonormative space is an extension of queer identity. It exemplifies an exclusionary spatial arrangement shaped by the liminality of its queer occupants. These spaces become exclusive geographical orchestrations, often mystified in their transient presence. Homonormative space can manifest in two primary ways: one with a fixed spatial arrangement frequented by queer individuals-such as parks, cinemas, or cafés-and the other marked by spatial l…
The Making of LGBTQ+ Magazines and Zines to Contemporary Forms of Representation on New Media in the Indian Context
Publication of magazines and newsletters that were disseminating information, and voicing opinions aiming at inclusivity is an important part of the queer movement in India. It is important to note that with the advent of digitization, and the monopoly of the public sector being removed, there was a shift in representation from these queer magazines and zines. New forms of representations are seen on new media, such as on podcasts, Instagram page…
Hegemonic Femininity in Popular Culture
Using the lens of Neeraj Ghaywan's film Geeli Pucchi, Aratrika Bose, Tanupriya, and Anuja Singh explore the ways in which lesbian characters negotiate the trappings of hegemonic femininity embedded in Indian culture, from marriage and home life to the workplace, and the role of the body and "beauty" in the navigation of feminine identities
Me Hijra, Me Laxmi
Laxmi Narayan Tripathi is a trans activist, an actor, and an author of a series of two autobiographies, Me Hijra, Me Laxmi and Red Lipstick: The Men in my Life. The autobiography is a detailed and insightful account of how Laxmi Narayan, the eldest son in the family finds her identity as a woman and a hijra. The title itself suggests a strong affirmation to her identity as trans woman, as in fact, language is performative in nature. Hijra autobio…
Artistic Representation of Gender Nonconforming Female Bodies in Social Media
The study critically examines gender nonconforming female identities via their sexualized representations through artistic imagination on Instagram. Instagram representation becomes a ‘political act’ where this visual subversion allows the queer to reclaim their non-binary identity and thus articulate their choices through their body. The digital graphic art taken under study is select images from the Instagram pages of Indian artists “artwhoring…
Redefined Families and Subsystems
Hijras or transwomen in India are gendered identities, but their identities cannot be reduced to the conceptual framework and analysis of ‘sex’, ‘gender’ and ‘sexuality’. Being the minority in India, transgender lives intersect with caste, class, kinship and hierarchy. The study locates these intersections within the scope of the select hijra autobiographies; The Truth About Me: A Hijra Life Story by A. Revathi and I am Vidya by Vidya. The study …
