Das Bild enthält eine Collage aus Text und Bild. Das enthaltene Bild zeigt einen der Schreibtische von Xenia Müller, der verschiedene Gegenstände beinhaltet: geöffnete und geschlossene Bücher, Notizpapiere und Stifte, einen Rechner mitsamt Bildschirm, Maus und Tastatur, eine Wasserflasche, einen Schal, diverses Geschirr, Bluetooth-Kophörer, eine Kanne. Die enthaltenen Textinhalte sind identisch mit den im Posting mitgelieferten Textinhalten.
Das Bild zeigt folgenden Zitatauszug aus dem Genderblog-Beitrag von Xenia Müller: "Dass keiner meiner Schreibtische jemals leer ist, empfinde ich als Geschenk. Auf ihnen finden sich Gedanken, die ich mir für die Zukunft notiert habe, Materialien aus prägenden Seminaren meines Studiums, Stapel von Büchern und zahllose PDF-Dateien. Sie erinnern mich daran, dass wissenschaftliches Arbeiten nie bei null beginnt, sondern immer schon von etwas getragen wird, das es ermöglicht, weiterzumachen. Auch, wenn dieses ‚Weitermachen‘ nicht selbstverständlich ist."

The cover of a zine. At the top right is the word "fluid" below which there is a black and white drawing of a person with their head back and their hands pulling open their chest. Below the image is the text "a look at gender and sexuality"
A photo of the archive indexing page for the zine "My words to Victor Frankenstein above the village of Chamounix: Performing transgender rage" by Susan Stryker
A photo of a page from the Susan Stryker zine. On the page is an image of the bride of Frankenstein with text above it. The text reads "rage colors me as it presses in through the pores of my skin, soaking in until it becomes the blood that courses through my beating heart. It is a rage bred by the necessity of existing in external circumstances that work against my survival"
I always love the #TransArchive open house and this year I found something for my #MonsterTheory obsessed soul! #MTHF25

Best seminar topic for discussion this week.
How does the golem compare to other human created beings like Frankenstein or AI?
Students did not disappoint in their reflections.

This book described badly: a field guide to the beings humanity populates the shadows with.
Fun to have around. It's a book that makes the world feel magical.

I used to teach Gothic lit. I centered my classes around J. J. Cohen's "Monster Theory." In his 7 theses, he states, among other things, that culture creates monsters against which to fight, making culture the monster.
