 font-weight: 400\;">Violent Intimacies</span></i><span style="font-weight: 
 400\;">\, Aslı Zengin shows how everyday trans lives in Turkey provide an i
 nsightful site for developing new perspectives on statecraft\, securitizati
 on and surveillance\, family and kin-making\, urban geography\, and politic
 al life. Zengin offers the concept of violent intimacies to theorize this e
 ntangled world of the trans everyday where violence and intimacy are co-con
 stitutive. Violent intimacies emerge from trans people’s everyday interacti
 ons with the police\, religious and medical institutions\, street life\, fa
 mily and kinship\, and trans femicides and funerals. The dynamic of violent
  intimacies prompts the world-making struggles of trans people in a Middle 
 Eastern context.   </span></p><hr /><p><strong>Lalu Ozban Bio:</strong></p>
