Abstract

In this short essay, the author calls for a provincialization of trans studies by rethinking the framework of the liberal humanist ontological self as the given basis for understanding trans experience. Briefly describing the neglect of non-Western epistemologies and practices in canonical trans studies in the United States, the author argues that turning our attention to these modes of selfhood, identity, and embodiment, such as conceived within hijra cultures in India, would be useful in lending productive directions for future work within the field. The author suggests that this work should be undertaken not with the sole purpose of expanding the geographic contours of the field, but in the spirit of destabilizing and de-essentializing what the signifier trans itself represents.
跨性别研究省区化
在这篇短文中,作者呼吁通过重新思考自由人文主义本体论自我作为理解跨性别经验的既定基础的框架,来实现跨性别研究的省乡化。作者简要地描述了美国经典跨性别研究中对非西方认识论和实践的忽视,并认为将我们的注意力转向这些自我、身份和体现模式,例如在印度海吉拉文化中构想的模式,将有助于为该领域未来的工作提供富有成效的方向。作者建议,这项工作不应该以扩大该领域的地理轮廓为唯一目的,而是本着破坏能指转换本身所代表的东西的稳定性和去本质化的精神进行。
