- This monograph is an extended piece of philosophical and ethnographic research which provides a novel theoretical approach to the study of trans subjectivities and their temporality. Its in-depth examination draws on post-structuralist philosophy to develop two key arguments: that Deleuzian ‘difference’ can help us understand trans subjectivities as ‘unity’ rather than as a ‘mind-body mismatch’; and that this conceptualisation can support a reformulation of the concept of ‘utopia’, grounding it in the pragmatic materiality of the present. The book contributes to theoretical work in relation to the lived trans experience and our understanding of difference in the public sphere.
