The Tranny Tease

October 19, 2017

Lecturers: Slavs and Tatars

The march of alphabets has always accompanied that of empires–Arabic with the rise of Islam, Latin with that of Roman Catholicism, and Cyrillic with the Orthodox Church and subsequently communism. Through the lens of phonetic, semantic, and theological slippage, Slavs&Tatars explore in The Tranny Tease the potential for transliteration–the conversion of scripts–as a strategy equally of resistance and research into notions such as identity politics, colonialism, and faith.
