In what sense might we speak or think about race as libidinally charged? How do we understand racial identity as erotically invested and in what ways do we see object choice as racially inflected? To what extent are such libidinal economies of identity formation and object choice both ubiquitously alluded to and routinely disavowed? And what are the circumstances under which they present themselves as an occasion for scandal, crisis and conflict?<\/p>\n

Drawing upon Freud\u2019s<\/a> discussion of the place of disavowal in the constitution of desire, this talk is an attempt to think about the persistence, and affective charge, with which analogies between transgender identities and forms of racial passing or cross-identification, increasingly named as \u201ctransracialism,\u201d are made.<\/p>\n

Dr. Trish Salah is Assistant Professor in the Department of Gender Studies at Queen\u2019s University and the author of two poetry collections, the Lambda award-winning Wanting in Arabic<\/em><\/a> and Lyric Sexology, Vol. 1<\/em><\/a>…<\/p>\n
