Session Information
Description: This roundtable draws inspiration from the presidential theme, Textual Transactions, while forcing the pun as a provocation. Panelists present a diversity of positions, ideas, and objects, trans*acting with genres, modes of textuality, and materiality. Presenters find different pathways for various “trans*actions”—negotiating varied theories, archives, and practices that draw on trans* embodiment, racialized gender spectrums, and the human sensorium.
