⭐️ Wishing you a joyful holiday season from all of us at the Trans-formations team‼️

📢 Hello, everyone!

Today we wanted to share with you a quote from Sara Ahmed's “What’s the Use: On The Uses of Use” (2019). Thinking through queer uses, says Ahmed, opens up new questions about how alternative uses can unsettle norms and generate new possibilities.

Thanks to the organizing committee and the Executive Board of AEDEAN for this great opportunity to share our work.

See you next time‼️ @aedeaninfo.bsky.social #AEDEAN48

In addition, our team member @pgarrod.bsky.social presented her paper “'It’s my body!': Reclaiming the Deviant Body of the Monstrous Woman through Horror in Queen of Teeth (2021)”.

She argued that the misused, monstrous body becomes a liminal space of resistance, self-acceptance and conciliation.

They examined the ways in which contemporary texts re-signify bodies through transformative narrative practices, embodied trans* practices (Halberstam, Hayward and Weinstein), and critical posthumanist perspectives (Ferrando, Braidotti) as tools for cultural reconstruction in post 9/11 narratives.
