Queer, feminist, and non‐representational geographies have highlighted the ways that a predetermined and self‐contained idea of the subject limits the options for theorising the politics of identity and resistance. Transgender lives speak to this problem in new and productive ways, alerting us to the constitutive vulnerability of individual bodies and ideas – a vulnerability that does not map neatly onto a passive/active binary of political agency and identity. This paper asks how a commitment to constitutive vulnerability might open up a space to think differently about the relationship between identity and resistance, by foregrounding processes of individual and collective becoming as the site of knowledge generation. It appeals to two readerships: to geographers already committed to non‐representational theory, with the suggestion that taking identity seriously as an operative concept is not irreconcilable with the tenets of process‐oriented ontology, and to queer and feminist geographers with the suggestion that process ontology offers a way to untangle some of the knotty and persistent problems of identity‐based social analysis. Drawing on Simondon's philosophy of transindividuation, it suggests a reconfigured geometry of subjectification, such that identitarian and representational claims are rendered incidental to the problem of individuation of political terms. This possibility is addressed in relation to a singular mode of transformative becoming – an account of gender transition – and in relation to a broader transgender and radical femme politics. The paper maps out a productive resonance between concepts of vulnerability, femininity, and resistance – in a reading that refuses not only the passive/active binary of political agency, but also the essentialist logics within which these concepts are habitually framed. This paper therefore explores the possibilities of a conceptual orientation to constitutive vulnerability for moving beyond anxious reproduction of existing orders of knowledge.

脆弱性地理:标识和抵抗的跨个体几何图形

酷儿派,女权主义者和非代表制地理学家都强调了预先确定且独立的主题概念限制了对身份和抵抗政治进行理论选择的方式。跨性别者的生活以新颖和富有成果的方式谈论这个问题,使我们意识到个人机构和思想的构成脆弱性-这种脆弱性不能很好地映射到政治机构和身份的被动/主动二进制上。本文提出了对构成性脆弱性的承诺如何通过将个体和集体的过程作为知识生成的场所的前景而开辟一个空间,以不同的方式思考身份与抵抗之间的关系。它吸引了两个读者群:已经致力于非代表性理论的地理学家,建议认真对待身份作为一种可操作的概念与面向过程的本体论的宗旨是不可调和的,并向酷儿和女权主义地理学家提出这样的建议,即过程本体论提供了一种解决身份认同的棘手和持久问题的方法-基于社会的分析。借鉴西蒙登的超个人化哲学,它提出了一种重新配置的主观化几何结构,以使认同性和代表性主张与政治用语的个性化问题有关。解决这种可能性的方法有以下几种:变革性的转变成为一种独特的模式-性别过渡的原因-以及更广泛的变性和激进的女性政治。该论文勾勒出脆弱性,女性气质,和抗拒性-不仅拒绝政治机构的被动/主动二元论,而且拒绝习惯性地构架这些概念的本质主义逻辑。因此,本文探讨了从构想脆弱性出发的概念取向的可能性,以超越对现有知识顺序的焦虑再现。
