Yuki Kihara's Paradise Camp as a potential Fa'afafine museum
This article examines critical ethnographic and archival elements of Paradise Camp, Yuki Kihara's highly celebrated Aotearoa New Zealand national pavilion at the Venice Biennial in 2022. Through its scenography that in Kihara's words is "fa'afabulous," consisting of archival collages drawn from museum collections and staged photography made after Gauguin's paintings in collaboration with queer Sāmoan communities, we argue that Kihara's heavily an…
Trans visibility and trans viability
This Roundtable is crafted from the online event held on Saturday 20 November 2021 on Trans Visual Cultures. That event was organized to celebrate the recently published themed issue of Journal of Visual Culture on new work in transgender art and visual cultures, guest edited by Cyle Metzger and Kirstin Ringelberg, and suggested for the journal by Jill H Casid. The themed issue emerged from a session run at the College Art Association in New York…
How to Read Dr Betty Paërl's Whip
In this article, the authors take up the historical figure of Dr Betty Paërl, who has surprisingly turned up in very different kinds of specialised archives. The white mathematics professor was located in IHLIA LGBT+ Heritage, the largest queer heritage collection in Europe, as a notable SM sexpert and spokesperson on transgender politics, and also found during archival research into the anti-(neo)colonial struggles of Suriname against the Dutch.…
Only Eye Candy? Original Plumbing Magazine’s Remodeling of the (Trans) Male Pin-Up
The participation of trans masculine models and photographers in the visual economy of pin-ups is particularly evident across the ten years and twenty issues of Original Plumbing (OP), helmed by coeditors Amos Mac and Rocco Kayiatos. Steinbock proposes that as “eye candy” that serves up a visual treat and seems intellectually undemanding, these trans male pin-ups have sweet-talked their way into a hostile phallic economy, and a community into see…
Critical Trans Studies in and beyond Europe
T he introduction to this special issue comes in a time of global transformation and, simultaneously, amidst severe reinforcement of the borders of knowledge, embodiment, life and death, movement, and social value that often work to secure the territories of racialized and gendered civility within Europe, and indeed worldwide. Trans political struggles across European countries have successfully intervened in the legal and medical regulation of t…
The wavering line of foreground and background
This article endeavors to describe the impact of ‘visual essentialism’ as an approach towards trans visual culture, including the violence it enacts and the mistrust it fosters towards self-defining language for gender identities. It borrows Susan Stryker’s insight in her introduction to her Transgender Studies Reader (2006, edited with Stephen Whittle) that trans phenomena move to the foreground when set against an ambient background consisting …
Thinking with Trans Now
This roundtable considers trans theory’s status as a site of thinking racialization, empire, political economy, and materiality in the current historical, institutional, and political moment. We ask, what does it mean to think trans in a time of crisis?, and what is the place of critique in a crisis?, acknowledging that global crises are not insulated from trans, and trans is not insulated from the world. This roundtable looks to materialist form…
The Early 1990s and Its Afterlives
This article considers the continuities afforded by digital platforms for reactivating the 1990s Transgender Nation politics, by providing a means to bond like-minded people into imagined nations cohered into an affective public. The media archeology approach facilitates the investigation into stylistic and conceptual continuities between the 1992 and 1994 Transgender Nation's 'direct action' and militant politics into cases of digital activism f…
Cinematic/Trans*/Bodies Now (and Then, and to Come)
On not really being there
Recently more trans characters, even as main protagonists, star in film and media representations, perhaps in tandem with an increased recognition of trans rights globally. In this article we argue that the visual and aural grammars of cinema perform a double movement of inclusion and elision, making for a fascinating if utterly frustrating uptake of trans presence that is at once, perforce, also an absence. Our case study of the Rayon character …
Thinking Linking
Catties and T-Selfies
This article responds to the phenomenon of Internet cats becoming pervasive in Web 2.0, while at the same time digitally shared self-portraits, commonly called “selfies,” also circulate with extremely high frequency. The author tracks the efficacy of sharing selfies for trans/Two Spirit individuals such as artist Kiley May and in trans-centric hashtag campaigns. It shows that trans-animality in digital life can offer sovereign forms of subjectivi…
Generative Negatives
The most recent exhibited work of photographer Del LaGrace Volcano is a triptych from the series Herm Body (2011–), which presents Volcano's front and back torso conspicuously pared down, headless, and nude. Whereas in conventional film photography, negatives are used in the darkroom to make positive images (photographic prints), in the outmoded medium Polaroid 665, which Volcano employs, the positive image is used to make a (unique) negative. Th…
Photographic Flashes
This article examines the aesthetic strategy of flash photography to visualize everyday violence against trans people in the visual art of Heather Cassils (2011-14). In addition to using photographic flashes to blind audiences, these works reference violence on multiple levels: institutional discrimination through the location in an empty archive room, killings through martial arts choreographies, and nnicroaggressions in aesthetics of defacement…
Pornography
This section includes eighty-six short original essays commissioned for the inaugural issue of TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly. Written by emerging academics, community-based writers, and senior scholars, each essay in this special issue, "Postposttranssexual: Key Concepts for a Twenty-First-Century Transgender Studies," revolves around a particular keyword or concept. Some contributions focus on a concept central to transgender studies; other…
"On the Affective Force of "Nasty Love
Tackling the mimetic logic of sex-gender that limits the transsexual subject's sexuality into seeming a poor representation, the author argues that trans pornography and autoethnographic accounts from trans scholars emphasize the affective dimension of trans sex, a material remainder absent from mimetic theories of sexuality. Developing concepts from Alfred North Whitehead's process philosophy, in tandem with Morty Diamond's film Trans Entities: …
Introduction
For this special issue of parallax we proposed thinking about how the body functions as a kind of apparatus or dispositif in the divergent disciplines of dance studies, installation art and cinema studies. We envisioned the suggested task of reflecting on not what a body can do, but what ‘the body’ has done as a way to get a critical grip on the burgeoning bulk of body theories. Over the past thirty-five years, many versions of such theory have e…
