Toward Trans*-Assemblage Thinking: Becoming a Trans*National Scholar through Posthuman Autoethnography
Pin-Ru Su
Gender and Education, v36 n8 p1069-1085 2024
In this paper, I theorize my becoming as a transnational trans* scholar through posthuman autoethnography. Grounded in Deleuzian ontology, I conceptualize trans* as a dynamic, fluid capacities beyond fixed gender categories. I use vignettes, diary entries, text messages, conversations, and photos as multiple thresholds where things collide, creating opportunities. Building on [Puar, J. K. (2012). "I would rather be a cyborg than a goddess": Becoming-intersectional in assemblage theory. "PhiloSOPHIA," 2(1), 49-66] and [Nicolazzo, Z. (2021). Imagining a trans* epistemology: What liberation thinks like in higher education. "Urban Education," 56(3), 511-536], I introduce Trans*-Assemblage thinking, which involves understanding "trans* both as an assemblage and within assemblages." This approach offers an innovative both/and framework for education, emphasizing fluidity, complexity, and pluriversality in rethinking gender, posthumanism, and social justice in educational studies.
