SUMMARY:Rosen Eveleigh (Conference)
DESCRIPTION:This talk reflects on my practice by sketching out a series of 
 historical transgender figures and their strategic use of posing and trope
 s as design methodologies. \n\nIn an attempt to draw a lineage for my own 
 practice\, I take up a series of case studies of trans people who used the
  same literal or conceptual design tools as I do: those who worked as prof
 essionals within design labour (i.e. printers\, binders\, typesetters\, or
  programmers) as well as amateurs who have taken up the tools of design fo
 r their own ends (ie. to get medical treatment\, to disrupt\, to communica
 te and create community).\n\nI understand the strategies of posing — ass
 uming a stance or attitude in order to be seen or to pretend to be somethi
 ng or someone else — and tropes — an archetypal character or form — 
 as an agential\, knowing position\, which is located in my ambivalence tow
 ards contemporary queer and trans aesthetics. Perhaps thinking through the
 se historical examples may provide guidance for an age of intense surveill
 ance and when trans life has never been more visible yet so dehumanized.
