ENGL 63.30 Trans Gender Literatures

Is there such a thing as trans literature? If so, what makes literature “trans”? Is there a way to theorize distinctions between trans literature and non-trans literature? From queer literature? This class will consider various incursions into United States trans literature, from mid-century pulp and sleaze, to documentary film, to recent popular novels and small press poetry to collectively theorize what, if anything, we might say about trans literature and its aesthetics influences, interventions, and possibilities.
