Abstract
Focusing on the body as a complex site of meaning and knowledge, this essay seeks to bring together queer and transgender studies and the study of intercultural communication. To do so, I engage the various theoretical and political impulses within queer and transgender studies to highlight their potentially productive tensions. More specifically, I use the notion of queering/quaring/kauering/crippin'/transing to extend Chávez's concept of embodied translation to research practices. Using a case study of male–male sexuality in post-apartheid South Africa, I discuss ways to understand “other bodies” in critical intercultural communication.
