Fashioning the Body: Versions of the Citizen, the Self, and the Subject

This is a really great article from the magazine make/shift. make/shift is a brand new feminist magazine which is, according to the Letter from the Editors, trying to address many of the same questions we are in class. "You know, what does it mean to work under the banner of a gendered term while you're challenging and questioning socially constructed gender altogether?" (make/shift no. 1, spring/summer, page 5).

The full title is "The Future of Gender Activism: Looking Beyond "Passing" and "Performance", written by Julia Serano. Serano is the author of Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity, from which this article is taken.
