SUMMARY:PFN - just femme & dandy Magazine Seeks Submissions on the Theme: "SUSTAIN"
DESCRIPTION:just femme & dandy is a literary & arts magazine for and by the LGBTQIA+ community on fashion. We offer a space in the literary & arts world that has yet to exist\, and hope to celebrate the queer\, trans\, non-binary\, and intersex community\, who have long since coded ourselves with how we adorn and dress our bodies when it has been dangerous to identify solely with words. Until recently\, we could only find a handful of models within popular culture and the public imagination to inform our own aesthetic choices\, and so the styles (and art) we don and make operate as a patchwork quilt\, collaged together with vintage and thrift store finds\, our sister or mother’s lipstick and gowns\, our father’s neckties and waistcoats. \nThe theme for Vol. 3 will be SUSTAIN. How can we use fashion to sustain us during this incredibly trying time? How has fashion sustained you in other times\, whether it be in terms of pain\, joy\, crisis\, or other challenges? We’d especially liked to hear submissions regarding: trans + queer pregnancies\, femme/fae bodies\, chronic pain/disability\, and given this theme\, we’d love to hear from mutual aid + food communities! And! Tell us about those Zoom outfits! Did you take on roller skating as a pandemic activity? What are you wearing to the parking garage or the skate park? Tell us in (get your) thread in the game\, our new sports/fitness/etc section (edited by Jen St. Jude)! We also have a brand new section called not what it seams (edited by Meca’Ayo Cole)\, which focuses on costume/cosplay – tell us about those solutions in productions\, drag\, or on the runway\, where you sustained your body while letting the look shine! \n We have no word count limitations\, but we ask that you be thoughtful about length as it relates to screen fatigue. \njust femme & dandy is an anti-racist\, pro-Black space. We prioritize submissions from artists of color. We seek work that addresses fashion and style as it relates to the lives of people who are LGBTQIA+\, including but not limited to bodypositivity and fatpositivity\, mental illness\, neurodiversity\, chronic illness\, disability\, non-binary\, intersex\, artists with intellectual & developmental disabilities (IDD)\, and transgender lives.

SUMMARY:N - Canadian Literature: A Quarterly of Criticism and Review.  Call for Papers on “Feminist Critique Here and Now”
DESCRIPTION:What is the continued role of feminist theory and feminist analysis in literary studies today in these lands claimed by Canada?  How and why is feminist analysis still relevant to our work? We seek contributions for a special issue of Canadian Literature on feminist critique and/in Canada today. \nWe invite contributors to respond to one or more of the following questions: \n\nWhat dialogues are taking place among feminists of different generations? What intergenerational dialogues need to take place? What can we learn from previous generations of feminists? Conversely\, what can we learn from younger generations?\nHow might it be useful to think about your work in relation to feminism\, even if you have not previously identified your work through feminist concerns? What kinds of trouble and/or alliances might be made by pairing your work with feminism?\nWhat forms of cultural production and activism are occurring at the nexus of trans and/or 2S/queer and feminist studies? What kinds of relations exist? What can trans and/or 2S/queer theory and feminist theory learn from each other?\nHow is feminism imagining ways out of racialized and gendered violence or articulating forms of resilience and resistance? What does anti-racist feminism look like in twenty-first-century Canada?\nHow do we envision decolonial feminisms? What are the implications of applying a feminist analysis to questions of Indigenous sovereignty? How do Indigenous knowledge systems and community wisdoms step into relation with feminisms? How might feminisms and Indigenous sex and gender systems co-conspire?\nWhat are the gendered effects of pandemics (COVID-19 or otherwise)\, specifically with regard to affective labour and care work? How do economics\, class\, labour\, and dis/ability inflect this question?\nHow have neoliberal discourses co-opted and adopted feminism? How has feminism resisted\, or capitulated\, to neoliberalism?\nHow does feminism manifest in\, through\, with\, and beyond the body?\nHow does feminism help us to understand ecological relations\, kinships\, and/or trans-species solidarities?\nHow are experimental forms or particular generic concerns shaped/catalyzed/exploded in relation to feminism?\nWhat is the relationship between feminist activism and cultural production?How does literary work bring us to think through\, about\, or with these clustered concerns? How have writers and other cultural workers responded to these questions in their literary and artistic practice? We encourage contributions from emerging\, diversely positioned\, and established scholars. We welcome standard academic essays as well as submissions that take on unconventional or creative forms.\nAll submissions to Canadian Literature must be original\, unpublished work. Essays should follow current MLA bibliographic format (MLA Handbook\, 9th ed.). Word length for articles is 6\,500-8\,000 words\, which includes endnotes and works cited.
