CRWROPPS POST: The Queer Movement Anthology
Subject: Call for Work: The Queer Movement Anthology
Call for Submissions: The Queer Movement Anthology
Contemporary literatures have at their core the queering of subjectivity. Writers Othered by society not only have rendered themselves visible, but have also formed collectives, workshops groups, and publications to confront the regimes of power that have historically invented mechanisms to invalidate and punish modes of becoming in alterity. In what this book project calls the queer movement, transnational solidarities and oppositional alliances are intentionally created and nurtured to further a more pronounced antagonism to arbitrary power play that generally targets embodiments of queerness. The queer movement is a living documentation of the evolution of resistance, pushing against the erasure of subjugated identities.
Based on the interpretation that the queer movement has a global pendulum, and whose scream for emancipation constitutes a history that sits with other histories of protests against prejudice and systematic oppression across time and borders, this book project is envisioned to be a gathering of diverse voices, ways of thriving, methods of freedom, possibilities that demand no fixity.
Writers writing from queerness are invited to submit poetry, fiction, non-fiction, or essays for possible inclusion in the anthology.
This anthology is tentatively set to be published by Seagull Books in either late 2020 or early 2021, as part of Seagull Books' Pride List. Seagull Book titles are internationally distributed by the University of Chicago Press.
