Abstract

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; others describe a term of art from another discipline or interdisciplinary area and show how it might relate to transgender studies. While far from providing a complete picture of the field, these keywords begin to elucidate a conceptual vocabulary for transgender studies. Some of the submissions offer a deep and resilient resistance to the entire project of mapping the field terminologically; some reveal yet-unrealized critical potentials for the field; some take existing terms from canonical thinkers and develop the significance for transgender studies; some offer overviews of well-known methodologies and demonstrate their applicability within transgender studies; some suggest how transgender issues play out in various fields; and some map the productive tensions between trans studies and other interdisciplines.

No al futuro: veinte años después de Hedwig and the Angry Inch

“…Hedwig no es un escaparate detrás del cual se encuentra Hansel: es una personalidad distinta. No estoy intentando encasillar a Hedwig en una especie de trastorno múltiple de personalidad, sino que intento demostrar que es una expresión legítima dentro del espectro de lo que se podría denominar, con La Fountain-Stokes (2014), una "subjetividad translocalizada". Hedwig es una sinthomosexualidad, como toda expresión de género es una sinthomosexualidad.…”
