Abstract
Abstract This article is a piece of experimental writing by Chase Joynt, a moving-image artist and writer, and Kristen Schilt, a professor of sociology. In this short piece, the authors track their affective and experiential engagements with objects found in the archives of Robert J. Stoller, a psychiatrist who helmed the Gender Identity Clinic at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the 1950s–70s and who was a key figure in the medicalization of transsexuality. Through daily free-write sessions in the archives, Joynt and Schilt managed the emotional tensions that emerged from their political, personal, and disciplinary investments as scholars and as individuals. These writings seek to consider various pieces of the Stoller archive through highlighting historical and political fissures, missing pieces, and affective responses.
