Abstract or Description

This short article builds on Nirmal Puwar’s concept of ‘space invaders’ – individuals deemed anomalously ‘out of place’ due to discordant identity markers of gender and/or race. I offer a transgender reading of Puwar’s work, to argue how following ‘out of place’ trans individuals are also positioned as both ‘out of time’ and ‘out of affect’ in a cisgender world. This piece highlights critical work on space, time and transgender feeling in the past decade following the percieved watershed moment of the ‘trangender tipping point’ in 2014.
