Book Synopsis Poetic Operations by : micha cárdenas
Download or read book Poetic Operations written by micha cárdenas and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Poetic Operations artist and theorist micha cárdenas considers contemporary digital media, artwork, and poetry in order to articulate trans of color strategies for safety and survival. Drawing on decolonial theory, women of color feminism, media theory, and queer of color critique, cárdenas develops a method she calls algorithmic analysis. Understanding algorithms as sets of instructions designed to perform specific tasks (like a recipe), she breaks them into their component parts, called operations. By focusing on these operations, cárdenas identifies how trans and gender-non-conforming artists, especially artists of color, rewrite algorithms to counter violence and develop strategies for liberation. In her analyses of Giuseppe Campuzano's holographic art, Esdras Parra's and Kai Cheng Thom's poetry, Mattie Brice's digital games, Janelle Monáe's music videos, and her own artistic practice, cárdenas shows how algorithmic analysis provides new modes of understanding the complex processes of identity and oppression and the intersection of gender, sexuality, and race.

Book Synopsis Our Work Is Everywhere by : Syan Rose
Download or read book Our Work Is Everywhere written by Syan Rose and published by arsenal pulp press. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past ten years, we have witnessed the rise of queer and trans communities that have defied and challenged those who have historically opposed them. Through bold, symbolic imagery and surrealist, overlapping landscapes, queer illustrator and curator Syan Rose shines a light on the faces and voices of these diverse, amorphous, messy, real and imagined queer and trans communities. In their own words, queer and trans organizers, artists, healers, comrades, and leaders speak honestly and authentically about their own experiences with power, love, pain, and magic to create a textured and nuanced portrait of queer and trans realities in America. The many themes include Black femme mental health, Pacific Islander authorship, fat queer performance art, disability and healthcare practice, sex worker activism, and much more. Accompanying the narratives are Rose’s startling and sinuous images that brings these leaders’ words to visual life. Our Work Is Everywhere is a graphic nonfiction book that underscores the brilliance and passion of queer and trans resistance. Includes a foreword by Lambda Literary Award-winning author and activist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, author of Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice.
Book Synopsis The Queer Nuyorican by : Karen Jaime
Download or read book The Queer Nuyorican written by Karen Jaime and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A queer genealogy of the famous performance space and the nuyorican aesthetic One could easily overlook the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, a small, unassuming performance venue on New York City’s Lower East Side. Yet the space once hosted the likes of Victor Hernández Cruz, Allen Ginsberg, and Amiri Baraka and is widely credited as the homespace for the emergent nuyorican literary and aesthetic movement of the 1990s. Founded by a group of counterculturalist Puerto Rican immigrants and artists in the 1970s, the space slowly transformed the Puerto Rican ethnic and cultural associations of the epithet “Nuyorican,” as the Cafe developed into a central hub for an artistic movement encompassing queer, trans, and diasporic performance. The Queer Nuyorican is the first queer genealogy and critical study of the historical, political, and cultural conditions under which the term “Nuyorican” shifted from a raced/ethnic identity marker to “nuyorican,” an aesthetic practice. The nuyorican aesthetic recognizes and includes queer poets and performers of color whose writing and performance build upon the politics inherent in the Cafe’s founding. Initially situated within the Cafe’s physical space and countercultural discursive history, the nuyorican aesthetic extends beyond these gendered and ethnic boundaries, broadening the ethnic marker Nuyorican to include queer, trans, and diasporic performance modalities. Hip-hop studies, alongside critical race, queer, literary, and performance theories, are used to document the interventions made by queer and trans artists of color—Miguel Piñero, Regie Cabico, Glam Slam participants, and Ellison Glenn/Black Cracker—whose works demonstrate how the Nuyorican Poets Cafe has operated as a queer space since its founding. In focusing on artists who began their careers as spoken word artists and slam poets at the Cafe, The Queer Nuyorican examines queer modes of circulation that are tethered to the increasing visibility, commodification, and normalization of spoken word, slam poetry, and hip-hop theater in the United States and abroad.

Download or read book Trans Exploits written by Jian Neo Chen and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Trans Exploits Jian Neo Chen explores the cultural practices created by trans and gender-nonconforming artists and activists of color. They argue for a radical rethinking of the policies and technologies of racial gendering and assimilative social programming that have divided LGBT communities and communities of color along the lines of gender, sexuality, class, immigration status, and ability. Focusing on performance, film/video, literature, digital media, and other forms of cultural expression and activism that track the displaced emergences of trans people of color, Chen highlights the complex and varied responses by trans communities to their social dispossession. Through these responses, trans of color cultural workers such as performance artist Yozmit, writer Janet Mock, and organizer Jennicet Gutiérrez challenge dominating perceptions and institutions that kill, confine, police, and discipline trans people.

Book excerpt: This groundbreaking and inspiring collection of dozens of our most original trans voices is a “smart, sexy, and entertaining” (Jack Halberstam) exploration of gender today.

Edited by the original gender outlaw, Kate Bornstein, together with writer, raconteur, and theater artist S. Bear Bergman, Gender Outlaws collects and contextualizes the work of this generation's trans and genderqueer forward thinkers—new voices from the stage, on the streets, in the workplace, in the bedroom, and on the pages and websites of the world's most respected publications. Gender Outlaws includes essays, commentary, comic art, and conversations from a diverse group of trans-spectrum people who live and believe in barrier-breaking lives.
Download or read book Trans New York written by Peter Bussian and published by Apollo Publishers. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A visually stunning, award-winning photography book of transgender New Yorkers, complete with thought-provoking and revealing interviews that honor the transgender community and the courage it takes to find oneself and defy societal norms. A growing portion of the LGBTQ+ community identifies as transgender; they are family members, friends, neighbors, and colleagues, and yet they are all-too-often stigmatized and misunderstood. This visual tour de force presents exquisite portraits of more than fifty New Yorkers who identify as trans, genderqueer, or gender nonbinary, and interviews with them in which they reveal who they are and what their transitions were like and combat common misconceptions and stereotypes. The vibrant, honest photographs were taken on the streets of New York or in iconic places like Grand Central Station, and together the photos and interviews provoke questions on gender identity, the gender spectrum, and gender expectations. In total, this is an unparalleled articulation of the expressions of sexuality, gender, and self that New York, in all of its beauty, honesty, and compassion, welcomes, as well as a celebration of the power of finding oneself and a compelling call for respect and acceptance. In addition to enlightening text from more than fifty members of New York’s trans community and the author, award-winning documentary photographer Peter Bussian, there are inspiring longer essays and an extraordinary foreword by the celebrated trans activist Abby Chava Stein. Trans New York is the winner of a prestigious International Photography Award (IPA) for its superb images.
Book Synopsis Queer and Trans Drag Artists of Color on College Campus(es) by : Gabriel Pulido
Download or read book Queer and Trans Drag Artists of Color on College Campus(es) written by Gabriel Pulido and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, trans and queer people are subjected to harassment, discrimination, and other forms of brutality ranging from administrative violence to premature death (Spade, 2011; Seelman, 2016; Thoreson, 2020). The imperialistic, racist, cis-hetero-patriarchy is both an ideology and system of oppression that has direct material consequences on trans peoples' lives (Goldberg, Kuvalanka & Black, 2019). While available research informs us about the lack of legal protections, and, specifically, how they impact the lives of trans and queer people (Restar et al., 2020), less is known about how they resist these forms of violence's or conjure experiences of joy in suffocating and oppressive institutional environments. The purpose of this study was to investigate how drag, in addition to being an artistic form of expression, may also serve as a necessary tool for altering, disrupting, and questioning the gender binary. Given that drag artistry exists virtually in every imaginable space, I narrowed the scope by focusing on trans and queer drag artists of color who regularly perform on campus environments. A Black feminist theoretical framework was not only beneficial to the collaborators and study but to the methodology itself. In the past, ethnography has rightfully been criticized for it racist and exploitative origins (Deschner & Dorion, 2020; Mackie-Stephenson, 2022). Given this complicated and rich history, I found it necessary to draw on Black Feminism to conduct ethnographic research that was not only handled with a great amount of respect but a great sense of care, too. Specifically, I drew on Patricia Hill Collins' three key themes in Black feminist thought, "the meaning of self-definition and self-evaluation, the interlocking nature of oppression, and the importance of redefining culture" (Collins, 1986, p.12). Although, this iteration of Black feminist thought has since been updated (Collins, 2022), I found this version most useful given the outsider within context for which it was theorized and written. The population of this research study consisted of 5 queer and trans drag artists of color who frequently perform in colleges located in central, PA. I utilized snowball sampling (Woodley & Lockard, 2016) and purposeful sampling (Coyne, 1997) to identify and secure their participation. The guiding questions were exploratory in nature and sought an intimate understanding of drag artists' experiences. Specifically, the study was guided by the following research question: What are the experiences of drag artists of color performing at PWI's? Additionally, the following secondary question was taken into consideration: In what ways do drag artists of color performances impact culture at PWI's? To address the questions, each collaborator participated in an ethnographic study that required the following: two in-depth interviews ranging from one to two hours, preparation and performance observations ranging from two to four hours, artifact submissions, mediated writing, and a poetry writing workshop. This research study yielded to major findings. The first finding, Nature of Interlocking Oppression, entails the oppressive landscape (on and off college campuses) drag artists in this study maneuver and, more specifically, their unique strategies for navigating such tumultuous territories. The second finding, Experience(s) on College Campus(es), details the multiple ways drag artists impact, and are impacted by, their performances on predominantly white college campus(es). Although the results are presented as two major findings, it is critical to note how interconnected the findings are to one another. Whereas the first finding focuses on drag performers' experiences navigating tumultuous and terrorizing territories as insider/outsiders to academia, the second finding highlights their unwavering commitment to remaining in place despite the multiple agency violations endured across university campuses. Recommendations for policy, practice, research, and theory were provided based on the findings, discussion, and existing literature. Finally, Drag of Color Epistemologies was introduced as a helpful tool for understanding, the many ways of being and doing, queer and trans drag artists of color engage in. This dissertation was transdisciplinary in nature as it drew and contributed to the fields of African American and Diaspora Studies, Higher Education, and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
