Trans Identities in the French Media: Representation, Visibility,
Recognition explores the representation of trans identities in
contemporary French society, with essays in fields as wide-ranging
as translation studies, women's and gender studies, film studies,
and comics studies. This book analyzes the multi-layered meaning of
"representation" to reflect on the questions of trans visibility
and recognition in a French context. The texts selected provide
readers with in-depth and innovative analyses that discuss the
representation of trans identities in the French media, its main
challenges, as well as the pitfalls and innovations that shape
these representations today.
This edited collection brings together scholarship from established
and emerging scholars in HIV/AIDS studies, French studies, Visual
Arts, and Dance. As French writers and artists from the past five
to ten years have been revisiting the AIDS crisis and its attendant
cultural amnesia, their work has brought about the necessity of
foregrounding vulnerability, exposure, risk, citizenship, and
trauma when considering disease. By way of probing "rawness" and
its varying iterations, this volume gathers analyses of HIV/AIDS
productions from the 1980s to today in the service of excavating
lessons learned by those living in proximity to disease. These
lessons provide important tools to understand and discuss both the
ongoing HIV and SARS-CoV-2 pandemics. The volume thus highlights
the specificities of the former while offering solutions on how to
discuss and mitigate the latter.
