The primary objectives of my project build on and revolve around activist organizations like The 519’s and The Jim Collins Foundation’s missions to decentre the medical clinic as a site of lone knowledge for parents with their praxis-based art groups for trans children under twelve in Toronto and New York, respectively. Taking part in workshops and conferences on theatre, dance and craft designed specifically for trans children and their families, I plan to engage in close readings of process art’s informative influence on the everyday lives of facilitators, parents and, of course, trans children themselves as well as conduct interviews with participants. To this aim, I will make use of José Esteban Muñoz’s narrative structure of memory and

    In the novel, Santos introduces the fences and forces the llaneros to reject their resistance to civilized changes because “Santos Luzardo arrives in the llanos as the bearer of modernity” (Henighan 31).

    In A God of Incredible Surprises by Virgilio Elizondo, who is the leading Latino theologian in the United States today, we get to witness his thoughts about Jesus’s life on earth. Elizondo introduces some very intriguing thoughts on the birth of Jesus, and what all that could mean for humanity. For instance, “… in the Apostle’s Creed: He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary” (Elizondo, 2003, 22). After this, Elizondo makes a very interesting point come to mind by asking why Jesus should be conceived by the Holy Spirit. Elizondo believes there is nothing more godlike than man and woman creating new life from the bond of love.…

In an effort to minimize the wrongful convictions, The Innocence Project is committed to assist and exonerate those who have been convicted of a crime that they did not commit.

    While activism has no limit, neither does the causes of the pain and suffering. The world is constantly getting worse and the effects of plays like Ensler’s and Blume’s seem to be lost in the shadow of suffering. However, the idea of the impossible task is noted and used as a tactic to still inspire action within the article. There will always be unfinished business but that is no reason to stop the good work being done today. The ripple effect will continue to spread, especially when aided by theatre and a visual of the trauma that needs to be addressed.…

    Borrowing the genre of melodrama, Almodóvar’s award-winning film, All About My Mother (1999), features transgender and post-queer study of sexuality. Apart from presenting two pre-op transgenders, the film renders a variety of “abnormal” intimate relationships, including the protagonist, Manuela’s family without a father, Huma’s ultimately failed lesbian relationship with Nina, and the family formed at the end of the film, constituted by Manuela, Rosa’s baby, and queer girlfriends. These unusual forms of intimacy disturb the hereto-sexist institutions, e.g. marriage and family. Portraying gender, sexuality, and identity as unfixed, the film mocks the conventional perception by interweaving the theatrical performance with the real life: On the one hand, the fixity and stereotype of femininity and masculinity are fostered by cinematic representations, exemplified by Hollywood productions; On the other hand, the reference to…

    Published in 2014, Manning Up is a collection of personal essays by transgender men. Taken as a whole, the collection represents new ground in the field of transgender life writing. While memoir and autobiography by and about transgender people can be traced back at least as far as the 1960s, the genre is constituted mostly by full-length autobiographies by a single author––such as Christine Jorgenson: A Personal Autobiography, Kate Bornstein’s A Queer and Pleasant Danger, and Jameson Green’s Becoming a Visible Man. Each of these works is considered a landmark within the genre, however, an anthology that incorporates many diverse transgender voices offers a new avenue for understanding transgender experience.…
