With Jack Halberstam and the dansmalangue collective
Over the past few decades, public discourse surrounding trans lives has multiplied. Even though this increased visibility sometimes comes with new rights, it also means regulation and exposure to increasingly virulent anti-trans movements. The desire to transition, once considered to be a rare and unfortunate condition, has now become a new topic of political activism.
In Trans*, Jack Halberstam explores the meaning changes at work in gender representation, and explores the possibilities for multi-gendered futures, invoking several cultural productions (movies, series, novels, installations) alongside figures such as Prince, the Monty Pythons, Judith Butler, José E. Muñoz, Paul B. Preciado or Susan Stryker.
