Abstract
Drawing on trans ways of approaching experiences of being, becoming, and relating, this dissertation aims to tell a story of ‘not coincidental but difficult to explain’ entanglements of body, kinship, time, and language by following curious and unexpected links between family and memory. I look at mutually formed mother and daughter relationships and matrilineal ties that are formed among trans women in Turkey to develop a trans theoretical perspective that would allow us to slow down the almost automatic and often state-sponsored inextricabilities that link body, to identity, to family, to a specific time and space, language and memory.
