Trans Futures

In this special issue, contributors imagine the reconstructed social realities and worlds made possible through the materializing of trans times. Critical trans studies and trans political struggles intervene in the spatial-temporal orders that set and regulate the boundaries of knowledge, life/death, embodiment, movement, and social value established to secure the heteropatriarchal white settler state, liberal civil society, and the nation. Seeking to question and envision our collective trans futures, as well as the idea of futurity itself, the authors depict conceptions of transfeminist solidarity, tropical aliens, and new understandings of Black and trans solidarities that challenge the trans/cis binary.
