{"product_id":"transgender-translation-translingual-address-douglas-robinson-9781501366666","title":"Transgender, Translation, Translingual Address","description":"The emergence of transgender communities into the public eye over the past few decades has brought some new understanding, but also renewed outbreaks of violent backlash. In \u003ci\u003eTransgender, Translation, Translingual Address\u003c\/i\u003eDouglas Robinson seeks to understand the \"translational\" or \"translingual\" dialogues between cisgendered and transgendered people. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on a wide range of LGBT scholars, philosophers, sociologists, sexologists, and literary voices, Robinson sets up cis-trans dialogues on such issues as \"being born in the wrong body,\" binary vs. anti-binary sex\/gender identities, and the nature of transition and transformation. Prominent voices in the book include Kate Bornstein, C. Jacob Hale, and Sassafras Lowrey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe theory of translation mobilized in the book is not the traditional equivalence-based one, but Callon and Latour's sociology of translation as \"speaking for someone else,\" which grounds the study of translation in social pressures to conform to group norms. In addition, however, Robinson translates a series of passages from Finnish trans novels into English, and explores the \"translingual address\" that emerges when those English translations are put into dialogue with cis and trans scholars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501366661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501366666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Douglas Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941774786815,"sku":"9781501366666","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9d5ebe05-265e-424c-a262-c91835a31dc3.jpg?v=1681454891","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transgender-translation-translingual-address-douglas-robinson-9781501366666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
