Book Description
In cultural studies, "body" and "knowledge" intersect. Social practices implicate orders of knowledge and at the same time they shape human bodies, which in turn endow abstract concepts with a concrete form. Seemingly stable bodies are by their very nature frequently unstable forms, as there are deformations, disfigurements, stigmatization, fragmentation or the hybridity to composite beings and transgender persons. The transgression of established boundaries can lead to confusion or terror. The embodied knowledge is thereby short-circuited, turning order to chaos. One way of bringing transgressive bodies under control is through the visual fixation of the transition. The image brings order into the chaos. The contributions in this volume explore in interdisciplinary dialogues how forms of knowledge can be embodied in a concrete form that one can perceive with the senses. In addition, these articles investigate what happens after such concrete forms have been created: what powers accrue to them and how they in turn impact the ideas that they represent.

Book Description
Transgender Migrations brings together a top-notch collection of emerging and established scholars to examine the way that the term "migration" can be used not only to look at the way trans bodies migrate from one gender to the (an?) other, but the way that trans people migrate in the larger geopolitical contexts of immigration reform, the war on terror, the war on drugs, and the increased policing of national borders. The book centers trans-ing experiences, identities, and politics, and treats these identities as inextricably intertwined with other social identities, institutions, and discourses of sexuality, nationality, race and ethnicity, globalization, colonialism, and terrorism. The chapter authors explore not only the movement of bodies in, through, and across spaces and borders, but also chart the metamorphoses of these bodies in relation to migration and mobility. Transgender Migrations takes the theory documented in The Transgender Studies Reader and blows it up to a global scale. It is the logical next step for scholarship in this dynamic, emerging field.

Book Description
Fiction. Short Stories. LGBTQIA Studies. A NATURAL HISTORY OF TRANSITION is a collection of short stories that disrupts the notion that trans people can only have one transformation. Like the landscape studied over eons, change does not have an expiration date for these trans characters, who grow as tall as buildings, turn into mountains, unravel hometown mysteries, and give birth to cocoons. Portland-based author Callum Angus infuses his work with a mix of alternative history, horror, and a reality heavily dosed with magic. Callum Angus is one of the younger writers I'm most excited by, with a mind full of marvels and an ear to match. Every story surprises; every sentence strives gorgeously toward music. This is writing as transition, as entrancement, as transcendence.--Garth Greenwell

Book Description
Bodies in Transition is a collection of poems about the transition of spaces and bodies. Capturing memories as early as childhood, G. Gazelka covers fundamental periods of development in their queer and trans identity and reckoning with social justice. In 2006, their father, at the time a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, introduced a bill to define marriage as between one man and one woman while they were just discovering their queer identity. He sent them to a clinic which has been accused of practicing conversion therapy. Unchanged, their parents kicked them out of the family. They spent 10 years away from their family's home struggling to find systems of support, survive, and become a man. Many of these poems deal with their social and physical transition after they returned to Minnesota in 2017. Due to the issues of legality surround trans identities, one of the poems "Everyone Bleeds" even references how they were sent out of state to North Dakota for a diagnosis of mental illness after speaking to reporters about how they had and were experiencing conversion therapy for their sex and sexual identity. At the forefront of the fight for equality, G. Gazelka believes these poems dealing with discrimination, longing for love, and belonging will resonate with their readers.
