GENDER/SEX THEORY Feminist/Queer/Trans Theory and Trans Embodied Methodologies in Contemporary Art: An Intergenerational Dialogue on the Page
Ace Lehner and Amelia Jones

This chapter explores how trans studies and trans creative practices offer compelling methodological interventions into and building upon feminist and queer creative and scholarly lineages. Taking trans creative practice as embodied theory, the inter-generational dialogue modeled in the chapter demonstrates the advantages of engaging, collaborative thinking across critical race, feminist, queer, and trans perspectives via intergenerational and multi-perspectival consideration of contemporary art and visual culture.

A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework explores the ways the fine arts, performing arts, curation, cultural studies, and art history have attempted to situate themselves in a more global framework. Offering analyses of the successes and setbacks of those aiming to globalize the art world, this innovative volume presents a new and exciting way of considering art in its global contexts. Essays by an international panel of leading scholars and practicing artists assert that what we talk about as ‘art’ is essentially a Western concept, thus any attempts at understanding art in a global framework requires a revising of established conceptual definitions.
