Klein, Thamar ORCID: 0000-0002-4815-5031 and Höhne, Marek Sancho (2019). Disrupting Invisibility Fields – Provincializing ‘Western Code’ Trans* Narratives. Open Gender Journal, 3. ISSN 2512-5192
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This paper illuminates the colonial project of medicalizing and diciplining trans* bodies in order to disrupt ‘Western code’ trans* narratives. We will first explore different systems of control concerning (trans*)gender that are employed by the ‘Western code’: biologization, temporality, classification, and pathologization. We will then move on to reflect on some realities of trans*-specific healthcare and its colonial heritage. In both of these sections, our attention lies with ‘invisibility fields’ (in Germany and South Africa) – the cloaked power structures that disguise the colonial project as somebody else’s problem. Finally, in an attempt to interrupt and provincialize ‘Western code’ trans* narratives, we open up space for counternarratives and stories of resistance.
