This study is part of a doctoral thesis that analyses autobiographical narratives of trans people. It seeks to demonstrate the mutually constitutive quality of material things in human life by bridging the gap between human and object, between nature and culture and between the tangible and intangible divides. This study of quotidian memories reveals how social, cultural, political and material contexts influence remembering and dis-remembering. It also seeks to investigate how bodies mediate collectively constructed dominant memory models of gender while serving as a site of contestation for personal and collective dimensions of autobiographical remembering in trans people’s lives. The trans narratives chosen for this study are Sissy by Jacob Tobia and A Truth About Me by A. Revathi.
