- Title
Breach: A Trans*textual Essay.
- Authors
Richardson, jt
- Abstract
The author engages the essay form and body in this creative nonfiction essay as trans*textual. A trans*textual essay, as methodological and literary, attends to textual movement and a textual body lacking traditional cohesive devices, such as transitional sentences and naming practices. This article's approach to the essay privileges ambiguity and not-knowing by using common security questions to authenticate identity in digital spaces in order to structure a personal history. Wrong body and wrong name discourse often oversimplify trans* experience. Taking "identity theft" as its initial provocation, this article unpacks the complexity of naming, identity, intimacy, erasure, and personal history.
