Image de la femme transsexuelle dans Transamerica
Transsexuality and its depiction represent for many a subversion or transgression of gender binarity. Transsexuality’s depiction is oftenly regarded as representation. In order to question this transsexuality's depiction, its subversivity, its transgressivity, and even its representability, we will attempt to look at it otherwise. This thesis discusses transsexual audiovisual image as figure. To define what figure is, a distinction will be made between this term and another concept of aesthetics: representation. By means of a filmic analysis of Transamerica, directed by Duncan Tucker, we shall see how some modalities allow trans figure to appear. After this cinematic figure's study, we will give an account of the manner by which we pursued in a video production the research concerning the question about trans figure.
