Abstract

ANGELAKI journal of the theoretical humanities volume 22 number 2 june 2017 ranimacies is a neologism that pushes and T pulls together transness and animality so as to better germinate unruly, wily, perverse relationships between them, and their spawn. The composite term of tranimacies enmeshes several everyday and scholarly concepts: trans- gender, animal, animacy, intimacies. This special issue’s bundle of theoretical and artistic EDITORIAL works insists on the beating heart of embodied experiences and political pulses at the core of INTRODUCTION these concepts. Following Mel Y. Chen’s 2012 book Animacies: Biopolitics, Racial Matter- ing, and Queer Affect, a plethora of work can eliza steinbock be found that engages with the racializing and dehumanizing dimension of affects. This marianna szczygielska approach is especially potent in animal studies anthony wagner as it helps to theorize the somewhat neglected registers of constructing humanness against the non-human Other. Many articles herein make reference to Chen’s politicized notion of animacy (a concept from linguistics), whether through an elaboration of how one might pos- ition animacies in other disciplines or a close cri- whether sexual, communal or by species, is in tique of how the concept ranks animate part determined by affective politics.
