This book contributes to an emerging field of study and provides
new perspectives on the ways in which Gothic literature, visual
media, and other cultural forms explicitly engage gender,
sexuality, form, and genre. The collection is a forum in which the
ideas of several well-respected critics converge, producing a
breadth of knowledge and a diversity of subject areas and
methodologies. It is concerned with several questions, including:
How can we discuss Gothic as a genre that crosses over boundaries
constructed by a culture to define and contain gender and
sexuality? How do transgender bodies specifically mark or disrupt
this boundary crossing? In what ways does the Gothic open up a
plural narrative space for transgenre explorations, encounters, and
experimentation? With this, the volume's chapters explore expected
categories such as transgenders, transbodies, and transembodiments,
but also broader concepts that move through and beyond the limits
of gender identity and sexuality, such as transhistories,
transpolitics, transmodalities, and transgenres. Illuminating such
areas as the appropriation of the trans body in Gothic literature
and film, the function of trans rhetorics in memoir, textual
markers of transgenderism, and the Gothic's transgeneric qualities,
the chapters offer innovative, but not limited, ways to interpret
the Gothic. In addition, the book intersects with but also troubles
non-trans feminist and queer readings of the Gothic. Together,
these diverse approaches engage the Gothic as a definitively trans
subject, and offer new and exciting connections and insights into
Gothic, Media, Film, Narrative, and Gender and Sexuality Studies.
