Resumo
In this article, I write my autoethnography of disidentifications from the West(ern) as I become an Other in the context of cross-national transitions from Japan to the United States. Specifically, I illustrate my performative modes of disidentifying from the West(ern) genre and motif to examine how historical, cultural, and somatic impacts of the West(ern) are negotiated and renegotiated in everyday interactions. In doing so, I utilize my Asian/Japanese transnational gay identity as the embodied text to disrupt, complicate, and transform understandings of 'Others' in the context of intraqueer/intercultural encounters.
