| description | By bringing together the history of spiritualism and contemporary art, this article aims to link transidentity issues, particularly transgender issues, and the figure of the ghost. I construct a parallel between spirit apparitions and gender transitions, with mediumistic or transgender bodies as central elements, in order to highlight similar issues, contexts and conditions. From the transgressive dimension of the spiritualist doctrine to the modalities of apparitions and disappearances of identity, I shine a light on a heritage that is still little explored and pose a queer gaze on the ghostly state, the condition of displacements and the issues specific to transidentities. By searching for its traces in the practices of transgender or queer artists, I would like to propose a renewal of the artistic and iconographic vocabulary where the figure of the ghost, exceeding the simple role of symbol, would become a key of comprehension of the transidentitarian process. |
