Transmotion publishes new scholarship focused on "theoretical, experimental, postmodern, and avant-garde writing produced by Native American and First Nations authors," as well as wider issues within Indigenous Studies considered broadly. It also contains book reviews on relevant work. The name comes from the work of Gerald Vizenor, in which "transmotion" is theorized as "a visionary resistance and sense of natural motion over separatism, literary denouement, and cultural victimry."[1] It is closely related to Vizenor's concept of survivance.
