Call for Papers: Sexual Diversity of/in the Margins. New Queer Trends in Hispanic Cultures (+more info)

The aim of this special issue is to explore contemporary queer culture of and in the margins, so often traversed by critical discourse. The concept of marginal sexodiversity refers, on the one hand, to the general discrimination of sexual minorities by phallogocentric societies, and, on the other, to more specific aspects: theory (queer/cuir, new materialist, ecocritical, etc.), history (coloniality and decoloniality, canonical/anti-canonical positions) and even geography (peninsular regions, the Americas, Equatorial Guinea, etc.). In this sense, marginality (or a convergence of marginalities) promises to capture and describe new forms, nuances and modulations of sexodiverse culture in the Spanish-speaking world.

All research articles must follow academic standards in line with the IMRaD format: Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion + Conclusions. References must follow APA 7, and all articles will be published with their corresponding DOI (where applicable).

Deadline for submission of proposals: 30 September 2026

Call for Papers: A Cartography of HIV and AIDS: Archives, Memories, Representations and Narratives (+info.)

This issue examines representations of HIV and AIDS in communication, culture and the arts from gender, sexuality and intersectional perspectives. It aims to analyse how these narratives shape collective memories, affects and inequalities surrounding experiences of living with HIV and AIDS, and to explore how media and cultural dispositifs contribute to re-signifying these experiences and articulating new forms of community, memory and visibility, which is essential for understanding and responding to the effects of the virus in contemporary society.
