DAY 4: #QueerReading Advent. CHAPTER 2 by Jolene Zigarovich examines 18thC intersex case studies and, in doing so, models a way of queer reading in the archive that makes trans legible & illegible in historic & contemporary ways. This is a great way into Zigarovich’s scholarship, which is brilliant.
