A Research Proposal on “Linguistic Adaptation”

Applying Transient Thinking to Youth Pedagogy; A Linguistic Adaptation.

This proposal title serves as a function to all current and future youth which gives reason to ‘Queer’ not being included in the title. The chosen topic is a literature review of the readings for class in terms of Queer Youth Studies and an anthology of essays in the field of Trans Studies. By doing this review, the proposal aims to contextualize Linguistic Adaptation in order to highlight it’s necessity for Gender Variant Youth. The Linguistic will involve highlighting the (langue and parole) within the review using ‘surface and deep reading’ in order to find transient language. Adaptation will involve materializing the corporeal findings within the review in order to contextualize value for an alternative Youth Pedagogy that offers a better generational understanding between Gender Variant Youth and Academia. This proposal is important for a future Youth Pedagogy because updated understanding of Transgender Studies has not only been absent in topics discussed in class such as; queer provocations, post-gay, subject position, gender equity, childhood and feminism, queer pedagogy, but also failing to make a distinction between Trans Studies and Queer Studies. “Queer Studies is “nonnormative desires and sexual practices” while Trans Studies focuses on “nonnormative gender identifications and embodiments” (Miguel and Tobias, 2016). Making this distinction will allow us to easier contextualize and apply Transient Thinking to Youth Pedagogy. By including Kate L. Turabian’s, “A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations” with Yolanda Miguel and Sarah Tobias’s Anthology on Trans Studies..we will be able to pin point issues with linguistic stagnation and linguistic’s relation to complicit youth education. Applying Transient Thinking is the goal.
