Abstract
This portfolio-style thesis and work of autoethnographic research-creation explores the historical lives of trans women in Ktaqamkuk/Newfoundland, Canada. Working with an assemblage of archival remains, felt knowledges, and poetic imaginations – what I call fishy fragments – of trans women’s worlds in Newfoundland, I reveal how the past five decades of our lives have been shaped by loss, sex work, and oceanleaving. Loving and honouring fishy fragments as a way to seek more heartful modes of inquiry in trans historical studies, this thesis offers a creative counterarchive of Newfoundland trans women’s worlds by thinking with trans+oceanic emotional geographies.
