Lecture by Susan Stryker

Susan Stryker, activist and historian of the struggles for the rights of the LGBTI collective, will explore the concept of “transgender”, not as an identity but, rather, to understand it as a lens that reveals self and world in new ways. It is a perspective attuned to flux, transience, plasticity, and becoming, as well as to that which persists in spite of on-going transformation. With historical, philosophical, artistic and political material, as well as her own biography, Susan Stryker will talk about how transgender studies have contributed a new perspective on the world.

This event has been organised in collaboration with the project Transitional States: Hormones at the Crossroads of Art and Science.
