Queer Remains: Race, Trans Resistance, and the Aesthetics of Violence
In the wake of LGBT formal equality, “Queer Remains” theorizes the co-constitution of assimilation and increased or sustained violence against trans/queer and gender non-conforming people, particularly those of color and/or low income in the United States. Through an archive of coroner reports, court transcripts, HIV reagent banks, suicide notes, and experimental film/video, “Queer Remains” builds a theory of racialized anti-trans/queer violence that works to unsettle the “individual actor” as the primary agent of phobic harm.
