Vol. 28 No. 4 (2023): Open issue
This open issue begins with an editorial by Elisabeth Lund Engebretsen and Erika Alm. Departing from the cover art, it reflects on territorialization, spatial occupation and disruptive visibility as ways to conceptualize focal strategies in past and present queer liberatory projects. The issue’s three research articles each speak to this theme of territorialization in its many queer manifestations, in transnational yet localized contexts: Sweden (Malmquist, Lundberg & Wurm on queer minority stress), Finland (Lassinaro on queer antimilitarism and environmentalism), the US (Forbes & Clarke on sex panic and policing), as does the Cover Art by Kongsness & Sterud (Norway) and Lino E Silva’s We’re Here contribution (Brazil). Three reviews – on a handbook in queer and trans feminisms in performance, a PhD thesis on intimate partner violence in lesbian and queer relationships, and an essay collection on queer memories – conclude the issue.
