	Madeleine Kahn - Narrative Transvestism
		I have developed the concept of narrative transvestism to describe this use by a male author of a first-person female narrator, and I use the concept to investigate how the eighteenth-century discourse about gender participates in the development of the narrative consciousness that became the distinguishing characteristic of the modern novel.
		These readings are structured by the concept of narrative transvestism, which directs our attention to the author's exploration of the difficult process of creating a coherent narrative self and to his attempts to engage the reader in that process.

		Medical discourses about transvestism, even those advanced by the establishment within gender identity clinics, are often diametrically at odds with the political discourses of the transvestite-transsexaul community.
		Once again, transvestism was the specter that rose up -- both in the thater and in the streets -- to mark and overdetermine this crisis of social and economic change.
		But the compelling force of transvestism in literature and culture comes not, or not only, from these effects, but also from its instatement of metaphor itself, not as that for which a literal meaning must be found, but precisely as that without which there would be no such thing as meaning in the first place.
