Description
A radical history of transness in cinema explores how trans people have been represented on-screen. From silent film to modern blockbusters, this book examines the evolution of trans representation in film. It delves into musicals, body horror, and avant-garde experimental films to uncover the story of the trans film image. The authors investigate the wider history of trans representation, tracing a journey of compromise, recuperation, and potential liberation. They argue that this is only the beginning of a more nuanced understanding of transness in cinema. This book offers an exhilarating exploration of the complex and often fraught relationship between trans people and film.
