PINC Second Fridays – October
Sensing Transgender: The film The Matrix as Trans MasterpieceCáel M. Keegan PhD, Discussant Francisco Gonzalez MD, Moderator Reyna Cowan, PsyD, LCSW Friday Oct 8, 6:30 PM – 8:30 PMWhen The Matrix (1999) exploded onto movie screens at the end of the 20th century, no one could have predicted how deeply its storytelling and special effects would become woven into popular culture. Twenty years after its release, references to The Matrix are everywhere. From music videos, to memes, to scripted television, to alt-right chat rooms, The Matrix is indeed "all around us." And yet, the meaning of The Matrix continues to evolve: What audiences initially experienced as a dystopian sci-fi epic now appears to predict the rise of 21st century transgender politics. This talk revisits The Matrix as a trans-authored masterpiece, one that offers today's audiences a surprisingly radical vision of transgender liberation.
