The Queer Behind the Mirror

Well, I haven't been exactly posting much lately. By the looks of things, it's been over a year. Many things have happened since then, which extend beyond these texts, here, I guess you could say. I've moved, joined a new University, Trent, at the Center for the Study of Theory, Culture and Politics. I've began other projects. The most demanding of attention is my MA thesis. I'm sure I'll be writing of the beast called ADHD and Historical Ontology soon enough on this little blog. It has and will continue to, consume the better part of next year.

Until I get back into the swing of things, i.e. actually contributing to the blogosphere, I recommend by good friend Kama's blog, The Queer Behind the Mirror. He has many interesting things to say about many topics. The range of content that comes across his page is astounding. I have no hesitation in recommending his ideas to anyone. He is currently working on a project on transnational transexuality. He describes it better himself. This is from his profile at Trent:

My project aims at problematizing (troubling?) the trans- in the transsexual and the transnational. I intend to study narratives of transsexuality and transnationalism with the aim of locating the (non-)place that transitioning may hold in the two types of narratives. One of my major sites of inquiry will be the articulation of forms of intimacy, gender performance and sexuality in South-Asian diasporic communities in relation to Western sexual epistemologies.

I hope you enjoy his work.
