The determinate, possessed body is the current conceptual and material problem engendering a bifurcation in trans studies, as some scholars (within and without musicology) are rethinking trans studies' relationship to queer theory. Readings of these disciplinary renegotiations are mobilised towards setting the agenda for trans music and sound studies, asserting that the relations, however contradictory they may seem, between 'queer' and 'trans' theories and methods must be sustained. The article proposes 'transaurality' as a method of trans music studies. This method is tested out when listening to techniques of voice and breath in the track 'Faceshopping' by the late transgender artist SOPHIE. Seeking to offer a model of socio-aesthetic analysis that listens for the ways in which sound makes transitions of gender and sex audible and actual, this method develops a critical and material approach to aurality. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Contemporary Music Review is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
