Overview

Putting Deleuze and Guattari’s concepts to wide-ranging use, leading trans theorists and activists develop innovative ways of thinking about trans identities, and the processes involved in liberating desires from the gendered ego. The first volume of its kind covers a broad mix of subjects including transecology, corporalities of betweenness, black transversality, toxic masculinity, and transvestism. Led by the overarching concept of schizonalaysis and responding to the need to move beyond the hetero-patriarchy currently dominating both progressive and regressive discourse, Ciara Cremin outlines the potential for radical departure from the status quo concerning gender identity, sex, bodies, and politics. Arguing that trans people are at the forefront of debates on gendered dichotomies as a result of becoming something other than their assigned gender, Cremin and her contributors theorise the possibility of a society which does not rely on gendered forms of oppression for its existence. Deleuze, Guattari and the Schizoanalysis of Trans Studies is an essential, ground-breaking resource for theorists, activists and students interested in trans theory today.

Reviews

This is the anthology I've been waiting for: one that brings Deleuze and Guattari's scattered, elliptical references to transsexuality and non-binary gender into robust engagement with the field of trans studies that has grown up after their deaths. Both Deleuzoguattarian and trans studies will be enriched by this provocative encounter. --Susan Stryker, Executive Editor, TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly; Barbara Lee Distinguished Chair in Women's Leadership, Mills College, USA Schizoanalysis of Trans Studies transforms the way we think about gender and social life. Situated at the forefront of debates in gender studies, queer theory, and beyond, this anthology not only takes on the implications of trans studies, it takes on key issues of global as well as gender politics, and survival. Read it. We need this thinking. Now. --Susan Rudy, Honorary Senior Research Fellow and Director, Centre for Poetry, Queen Mary University of London, UK
