Course Description

Overview

Explore the concept of transphilogyny in this thought-provoking TEDx talk by Pella Felton. Delve into the affirmation and normalization of transfemininity as womanhood, and discover how this counter-concept to transmisogyny can address rising violence against trans women. Examine transphilogyny as an epistemology, performance, and phenomenon, and imagine its potential to reshape cultural perceptions of gender and womanhood. Drawing from queer feminist scholars, investigate the political power of trans womanhood in disrupting cultural algorithms that limit our experiences of life, culture, and bodies. Join Pella, an accomplished actor, poet, filmmaker, podcaster, and activist, as she presents her research on archival sound performances and the world-building potential of digital audio in creating "utopian vibrations."
