<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12pt; font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">Trans* embodiment, subjectivities, networks, advocacy and resistance are mediated by global capitalism and neoliberal regimes of accumulation on
national, state and local levels. This issue invites trans scholarship that engages with <span class="">political</span> <span class="">economy</span> as an assemblage of dynamic processes that frame but do not completely determine the material lives of non-normatively
sexed and/or gendered individuals and communities.</span></p>

</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12pt; font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">This issue aims to problematize the multidimensional circuits and flows of capital, labour and bodies across various types of borders. How do the
material experiences of trans* subjects advance understandings of the <span class="">political</span> <span class="">economy</span> of intra- and transnational mobilities? What do the <span class="">politics</span> of trans migration reveal about the gender/labour/violence
nexus and racialized hierarchies that facilitate the advancement of passable bodies while hindering others? How is the legibility of gendered, racialized, sexualized bodies contingent on being properly located in relation to social, <span class="">economic</span> and
cultural capital? How do trans/feminist and other social justice scholars and activists hold particular trans subjectivities (especially trans women) personally responsible for their participation in geopolitical and biocapitalist relations in ways that other
gender non-conforming individuals are not?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12pt; font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12pt; font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">Debates concerning post-Fordist productive/consumer relations, gender and immaterial labour represent another point of entry for scholarly-activist
inquiry into the <span class="">political</span> <span class="">economic</span> relations governing these new times. While the expansion of the service <span class="">economy</span> within post-industrial societies is characteristic of Post-Fordism (e.g. food
and hospitality services, childcare, retail), this regime of accumulation emphasizes the centrality of service relations between workers and consumers in all sectors. Capitalist relations exceed narrowly defined <span class="">economic</span> processes (i.e.
commodity production/consumption) and pivot around affective labour, moral or emotional <span class="">economies</span>. In other words, individual bodies and personalities are put to work to create positive consumer experiences (i.e. workers’ appearances
must be attractive, voices soothing, and behavior must signal enthusiasm, dedication, and/or deference to authority). How do the un/der/employment experiences of trans men and women, demonstrate the failure of particular bodies to produce feelings of security,
safety, belonging, and satisfaction? How does trans labour contribute to<span class="">economies</span> of desire? What logics and interests underline the criminalization and/or precarity of such labour and the lives and status of those implicated?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12pt; font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">We are producing trans- <span class="">political</span> <span class="">economic</span> analysis in times of war, <span class="">economic</span> and
ecological crises. Such precarious times demand inter/disciplinary inquiry into the ways that gender non-conforming bodies and/or Trans Studies as a body of literature, artistic and activist production serve as sites of contestation. How are the logics of
capital being embodied and resisted on micropolitical levels, through non-profit organizations, via social service agencies and through other efforts to achieve substantive equality and transformative justice?</span></p>
