SUMMARY:Constructions of identity and embodiment in the discourse of trans youth: A queer and trans linguistic approach
DESCRIPTION:Lucy Jones – The University of Nottingham (https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/english/people/lucy.jones) \n(Virtual Zoom) \nAbstract\nIn this talk\, I use discourse analysis informed by queer and trans theory to explain identity construction as it occurs in a conversation between young trans people. In this conversation\, the young people describe their experiences of being rendered powerless through misgendering or misrepresentation\, revealing cisnormative expectations around trans people’s embodiment. I argue that they resist these expectations by reframing the language used by others to describe their bodies\, and that they gain agency as a result. \n ||  \nBiography\nDr Lucy Jones is Associate Professor in Sociolinguistics at the University of Nottingham\, UK. She is a discourse analyst and linguistic ethnographer working on a range of topics relevant to language\, gender and sexuality. Her published research includes normativity and identity construction amongst LGBTQ+ youth\, homophobic discourse in relation to same-sex marriage and HIV prevention\, analysis of YouTube videos by trans vloggers\, and older lesbians’ identity construction. Her current projects include a study of identity and intersectionality in British LGBT+ youth groups and critical discourse analysis of how trans athletes in elite sport are represented within the news media. \n ||  \nZoom Details\nZoom link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/95946877342?pwd=U2dRbEttTXJmekN2U3VRbENxVGI0dz09 \nMeeting ID: 959 4687 7342\nPassword: 915082 \nLivestream will be available at Room CRT-7.45\, 7/F\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU
