Beskrivning

Transitioning: matter, gender, thought takes the body, its ontologies and temporalities, as a primary ethnographic heuristic to explore transition contexts, relations and life processes. Although in Britain the Gender Recognition Act has, since 2004, provided a framework for identity recognition for those who seek to live as a member of the opposite gender, this book draws on trans men’s experiences to conceptualise transition outside this framework. Thinking through changing materialities, cultures and epistemologies of transition, the book brings together perspectives in anthropology, transgender studies, and social theory to think through how bodies happen, and the scales, assemblages, transmissions and indeterminacies in their process of becoming something other than themselves.

In this conceptually and ethnographically rich exercise in thinking "with" transgender rather than thinking "about" transgender, EJ Gonzalez-Polledo explores how "transitioning" is not something only trans people do in the process of moving away from their birth-assigned sex. It is something that all materiality does--perpetually, inexorably, unavoidably--in the ever-unfolding dynamic processes of being. Gonzalez-Polledo superbly demonstrates in Transitioning how manifesting this ontological flux can be a danger trans people face when they destablize gender for others, as well as a gift they give that can open the world in profound and unexpected ways. Read this book if you've ever wondered how deep the transgender rabbit-hole can go.
