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 bookanalyzes 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 book provides groundbreaking analyses of the complex representations of trans and gender non-conforming identities in the French media. While providing a multifaceted look into the persistent challenges experienced by trans people within the centralizing space of the French Republic, the various contributors also show how increasingly diverse media representations of trans lives have spurred new public debates about a wide range of socio-cultural and political issues such as gender, sexuality, youth, family, nationality, migration, citizenship, and class in contemporary France. -- Thérèse Migraine-George, University of Cincinnati
