TRANSFEMINISM AND ITS INFLUENCE ON VISUAL PRACTICES OF TRANSMEDIA

Abstract

The article outlines the peculiarities of the formation of transfeminism. The interaction between the appearance of transphobia ideas in feminist discourse and attempts to eliminate them in transfeminism are presented. The inconsistency of theoretical approaches in this direction is noted. The general starting point of transfeminism is the awareness of the legitimacy of a person’s desire to realize him, including through changes in gender, physicality. The attention was paid to the actualization of the media sphere and the emergence of the phenomenon of transmedia. Modern transmedia's visual practices cover various types of art, performances, net-art, fashion shows, expressing aspects of transgender and gender-inconsistent
experiences, trying to establish a correlation between aesthetics, politics and technology of cultural production.
