In Shimmering Images Eliza Steinbock traces how cinema offers alternative ways to understand gender transitions through a specific aesthetics of change. Steinbock applies the concept of shimmering-which delineates change in its emergent form as well as the qualities of transforming bodies, images, and affects-to analyses of films that span time and genre. Drawing on Barthes's idea of the "shimmer" and Foucault's notion of sex as a mirage, the author shows how sex and gender can appear mirage-like on film, an effect they label shimmering.
Steinbock also explores more recent documentaries, science fiction, and pornographic and experimental films. These include examinations of the fantastic and phantasmagorical shimmerings of sex change in Georges M li s's nineteenth-century trick films and Lili Elbe's 1931 autobiographical writings and photomontage in Man into Woman.
