Dear all,
In know I am not so visible in the network, but hope you don't mind that I share this
invitation to the coming seminars in this term's Crip and queer seminar series hosted
by the Division of Gender studies in Lund. The spring's theme is queer and trans
embodiments.
This term's second Crip and Queer Seminar will be 7th May, 13.15-15, in Gamla
Lungkliniken 355, hosted by the division of Gender Studies. We are proud to present a
lecture by Luca Tainio, adjunct lecturer in Gender Studies at Karlstad University and PhD
scholar at Helsinki University: "I'm so proud, I grew it myself":
Challenging cisnormative ideals of the penis through trans male embodiment. The Crip and
Queer Seminar series is proud to present this lecture. After the seminar - which is open
to students, staff, and the general public - we serve fika in the kitchen on the fourth
floor of Gamla Lungkliniken. There is an elevator and door openers in the building.
Welcome!
Abstract: The seminar explores the notion that the simple division between men with a
penis (cis) and those without (trans) fails to capture the embodied realities of many
trans men and is largely a discursive construct. Rather than defining trans men's
bodies by the absence of 'genital status reserved for cisgender men,' it argues
that the non-surgically altered trans penis should be viewed as a body-reflexive practice
of masculinity and a key aspect of forming one's trans male identity. The aim is to
challenge cultural ideals and to offer a counternarrative to the cisnormative
understanding of male embodiment.
Upcoming Crip & Queer seminar:
May 21, 13.15-15, in G:a Lung 355: Creative research methods as a way to move research
participants away from individualised conceptualisations of "body image" with
Ella Sangmyr, PhD Researcher in the Department for Health at University of Bath and guest
scholar at Gender Studies.
