Challenges posed by transgender - passing within ambiguities and interrelationsKeywords: transgender , passing , intersectionality , normalization , politics of articulation Abstract: This article critically interrogates current academic knowledge productions on transgender exemplified by figurations of passing. Following a deconstructivist approach, I challenge normalizations and silenced differences within dominant conceptionalizations of passing related to transgender. By investigating interconnected positionings of transgender within power relations, I will argue in favor of intersectional approaches to transgender. Regarding interrelations ofknowledge productions and power relations, I will end by suggesting politics of articulation as means for epistemological-political-transformations referring to transgender.
