Jack Halberstam: Trans* - A Short History of the Trans* Body in Visual Culture

The category of trans* takes the prefix for transitivity and couples it with the asterix that indicates a wildcard in internet searches; it is a diacritical mark that poses a question to its prefix and stands in for what exceeds the politics of naming. To investigate trans* representation is also to propose that something within trans* representations exceeds the framing of transgenderism. By looking at trans* materials, we can see what is gained and what remains unpredictable about the popular embrace of transgender bodies, or some of them, and transgender representations.

The talk is in three parts and is drawn from Jack's new book Trans*: A Quick and Quirky Guide to Gender Variance<https://unsw.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3ba355bee695d724a164aa989&id=eaef868685&e=a83fdfc422>.

"In the first part of the talk, I address where we have been in terms of the history of cinematic representations of gender variant bodies; in the second I address histories of representation drawn from photography archives; and finally, I turn to contemporary popular film and TV to see how we might think differently about gender, trans* politics and popular and unpopular culture."

Jack will be later joined onstage by Teddy Cook and Liz Duck-Chong for a discussion on the ways that this history and representation of trans bodies intersects with contemporary approaches to securing health equity and inclusion for trans and gender diverse people. The panel will be facilitated by Associate Professor Christy Newman.

Proudly supported by the UNSW Centre for Social Research in Health and the Division of Equity Diversity & Inclusion.
