Trans Identities in the French Media
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 book analyzes 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.
