a journal of queer studies

InterAlia, a peer-reviewed scholarly journal for queer theory, is open to submissions from a wide range of fields, written in English, Spanish or Polish. Among the issues we hope our contributors will address is the translatability of queer concepts across cultural and linguistic borders; the relationship between queer theory and activism; the possibility of reconciling the different positionings within the queer community that are related to such factors as gender, race, class, age, sexual practices, and geographical location; the relevance of queer studies for understanding the discourses, cultural practices, and institutions that surround us; and the potential of queer as a counterdiscourse or counterpractice.

We also publish (without the peer-review process) literary and art works, documentation of artistic and theatrical works, book reviews, manifestoes, theory-fiction, commentaries and other materials that fall outside the rigid academic standards.

We do not charge any fees for publishing in InterAlia.

We charge no fees and we do not publish any commercial advertisements for revenue; the only advertising in InterAlia is for other queer studies publications, on a reciprocal basis.

InterAlia is published once annually, usually in December. Manuscripts are accepted on a continuous basis.
