| dc.description | <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <p>This article proposes a theory of ‘trans infrastructuralism’. Through narrative and phenomenological description, trans infrastructures illuminate the enabling conditions for emergent, material, and intersubjective forms of trans masculine desire. We argue that the reproduction of intimate affects remains paradoxically obscured by the physical presence of public infrastructure. This is paradoxical because being intimate or maintaining intimate queer loving located an interstitial relation that contradicted the intended uses of public works. The odd intensities that emerge in the trans ordinary can therefore range from techno-social objects that comprise trans people who seek gender-affirming medical care to the important spatial relations that serve to propel new socialities. Many readers may find the insights gleaned from such scholarly writing about trans infrastructuralism. We do not depart dramatically from what construes public works as socially meaningful signs in ordinary life.</p> </body> </html> | en_US |
