Abstract:This essay explores Ann Bannon's lesbian pulp series "The Beebo Brinker Chronicles" through the lens of trans studies, placing her eponymous hero in conversation with the inversion rhetoric of sexological discourse and the transgender pulp novels that circulated alongside Bannon's texts in the 1950s and 1960s. Despite the prominence of Beebo's masculine identification, and the fact that Bannon draws heavily from Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness — now widely read as a transgender text — Beebo has yet to be read as a character that resonates within both the trans and the lesbian literary canons. Revisioning Beebo as a transmasculine character transforms our understanding of an unfolding trans-gender literary tradition, offering a bridge between Hall's Stephen Gordon and later twentieth-century articulations of transmasculine identity and embodiment. Further, the essay suggests that Bannon's series provides a vital intervention in the "case study" framing that dominated both transgender pulp novels and The Well by offering a vision of trans experience that, presented in the romance genre, exists outside medical authority. If we broaden the context for studying Beebo to include other contemporary trans literary genealogies, Bannon's work becomes integral to understanding the pulp genre's treatment of transgender themes and the reach of transgender plots and possibilities at midcentury.

摘要：本文通过跨性别研究的视角探讨了安班农的女同性恋低俗系列“The Beebo Brinker Chronicles”，将她的同名英雄与性学话语的倒置修辞以及在 1950 年代和班农的文本一起流传的跨性别低俗小说进行对话。 1960 年代。尽管 Beebo 的男性身份认同突出，而且班农大量借鉴了 Radclyffe Hall 的《孤独之井》——现在被广泛阅读为跨性别文本——但 Beebo 尚未被解读为一个在跨性别和女同性恋文学中产生共鸣的角色大炮。将 Beebo 修正为一个跨性别的角色，改变了我们对正在展开的跨性别文学传统的理解，在霍尔之间架起了一座桥梁。s Stephen Gordon 和后来的 20 世纪关于跨男性身份和体现的表述。此外，这篇文章表明，班农的系列通过提供一种以浪漫类型呈现的跨性别体验的愿景，在医学权威之外存在的“案例研究”框架中提供了一种重要的干预，这种框架在跨性别低俗小说和 The Well 中占主导地位。如果我们将研究 Beebo 的背景扩大到包括其他当代跨性别文学谱系，班农的作品将成为理解低俗体裁对跨性别主题的处理以及跨性别情节和可能性在本世纪中叶的影响不可或缺的一部分。通过提供跨性别体验的愿景，这种框架在跨性别低俗小说和 The Well 中占主导地位，这种体验以浪漫类型呈现，存在于医学权威之外。如果我们将研究 Beebo 的背景扩大到包括其他当代跨性别文学谱系，班农的作品将成为理解低俗体裁对跨性别主题的处理以及跨性别情节和可能性在本世纪中叶的影响不可或缺的一部分。通过提供跨性别体验的愿景，这种框架在跨性别低俗小说和 The Well 中占主导地位，这种体验以浪漫类型呈现，存在于医学权威之外。如果我们将研究 Beebo 的背景扩大到包括其他当代跨性别文学谱系，班农的作品将成为理解低俗体裁对跨性别主题的处理以及跨性别情节和可能性在本世纪中叶的影响不可或缺的一部分。
