The book covers interviews with several transgender women – conducted in March 2005, presenting a wide range of human destinies, incidents, and strange experiences that one is usually not aware of. It shows people who, due to a different way of life or self-understanding, find themselves in the shadows, outskirts, or cracks of the 'normality' world.
The publication presents a wide range of micro-sociological and micro-ecological studies of life forms, localities, and people who are on the margins of society or who, in their daily lives, must seek to deal with their otherness through a variety of strategies or practices. We meet call girls, infantilists, prison inmates, far-right sympathizers, vagabonds, death workers, transgender women, and porn stars. All the chapters focus on identity and interaction and their methodologically qualitative and exploratory research angle.
