Läs mer om lambda nordica letar ny chefredaktör!Det här temarumet av gästredaktörerna Mia Liinasson och Olga Sasunkevich handlar om spänningar och tidsdimensioner i Prideparader och Pridepolitik. Här förstås Pride som en fenomen där lokala, nationella och transnationella motsättningar - men också solidaritet - korsas, där oväntade allianser byggs och där politiska meddelanden skickas ut - om än ofta på subtila vis. Numret innehåller ett förord av redaktörerna, fyra forskningsartiklar, en We're Here och fyra recensioner.
Läs mer om Ute nu! 28 (2-3): The Tensions and Temporalities of Pride Politics - Transnational Travels and Situated LocalesThis first issue of 2023 is an open issue which includes three research articles that together are indicative of the methodological and theoretical scope of contemporary queer studies – they range from digital ethnographic to discourse analysis of media material and archival research. The double bind of visibility is a common theme in all of them.

lambda nordica is seeking proposals for special issues to appear in 2026 and 2027.
Läs mer om Call for Special Issue ProposalsThe journal is now looking for an editorial assistant to complement the editorial team, with preferred start date in January-February 2023, for an initial two years. This is a great opportunity for scholars with a keen interest in developing queer and LGBTQI+ scholarly publishing further in Nordic Europe and beyond; the task yields much room for creativity and provides a platform for developing a good overview of the scholarly field and establishing research contacts. A small compensation is rendered annually.
Läs mer om Call for Expressions of Interest: Editorial AssistantWith an editorial that urges us all to (re)turn to queer scholarly work on the use of the spectre of LGBT in nationalist movements in Russia, and to work that show how femonationalism and homonationalism legitimise anti-multiculturalism and Islamophobia in a Europe at War, we are happy to provide lambda nordia readers, old and new, with a brand new issue!
Läs mer om Out now! Open issue 2022 no. 2The aim of this special issue is to shed light on how neo-liberalization and increased nationalism and populism, as well as right-wing populism within the Nordic region is (re)shaping the LGBTI community along normativising lines, leading to a further minoritisation of those already facing precarity and exclusion. We invite transdisciplinary scholarly papers, short essays, reviews, artwork and commentary pieces across social sciences and humanities.

Tema SKEVIn this special issue, we are interested in what kind of queer intimacies, families and companionships are emerging and imagined now in current Nordic contexts and beyond, including transnational contexts. In what kind of affective, discursive, material and social entanglements do they take shape and change?

Läs mer om Note from the editorsOur latest issue queries the processes of biomedicalization, the structures of biomedical knowledge and the force of biomedicine as an institution of social control, and aims to expand the object of biomedical and health research and practice to the specific experiences and bodies of queer people, along with others who do not fit into dominant normative frameworks.
Läs mer om Out Now! Queering Health and BiomedicineReflecting upon the intellectual and political preoccupations that unify those theorizing and imagining at the intersection of Black feminist thought/theory, critical race theory, and queer studies, what emerges is how the rampant racialized violences that continue to operate in the “wake” (Sharpe 2016) of the transatlantic slave trade and settler-colonialism shape BIPOCs’ contemporary experiences of subjugation and performances of subversion. Contemplating the racist mechanisms that seek to restrain bodies of colour in place alongside the oppositional techniques that queer, trans, and gender non-conforming BIPOCs persistently employ to claim their bodies in space, this special issue asks: if BIPOC bodies are so often situated through the twinned sites of racist desire and racist derision, how can our bodies be re-appropriated, re-modelled, or re-imagined as sites of subversion as we inhabit them in ways that repel, problematize or taunt the racist gaze?

Läs mer om Out Now! Open Issue, no 1 (2021)Our latest issue explores queer world-making, utopian visions, and tensions between sexual and national belonging in Nordic and Baltic cinema cultures. Who and what are the subjects that can inhabit and become legible within national, regional, sexual, gendered and racialized categories?
Läs mer om Out Now! Nordic Queer CinemaThe idea of pride continues to travel across the globe to promote visibility and validity of LGBTI+ people. Yet, as a political movement and community of belonging, pride politics takes shape as a contested field in situated locales, at once challenged and cherished, bringing forth critical questions of the agendas, tactics and visions of its ever-increasing popularity. This special issue invites papers that draw on various types of ethnographic, empirical and theoretical approaches, with the aim to scrutinize the emergent tensions and temporalities of pride politics through its many shifting times and contexts, transnationally as well as locally.

Läs mer om Call for Special Issue ProposalsThis special issue aims to offer a platform for mapping and analyzing anti-gender campaigns around the world as well as for incisive queer-theoretical reflections on central characteristics that shape anti-gender politics’ premise, practice, and growth.
Läs mer om Call for Abstracts: Anti-Gender Politics and Queer TheoryDetta temanummer av lambda nordica syftar till att undersöka hur skevbegreppet har utvecklats och hur det används idag. Vad kan vi göra med skev som inte kunnat göras tidigare? Hur förhåller sig skev till queer; kan begreppen användas parallellt eller bidrar de med olika saker? Vilka olika typer av normbrott kan skev beteckna?
Läs mer om Call for papers: SkevIn the present Nordic audiovisual media landscape, queer and trans characters and themes are more visible than ever. LGBTQ roles are increasingly being included in large broadcast drama series as well as in smaller web formats. Social media sites provide new audiovisual platforms for queer and trans media content, celebrity, activism and community building. The number of queer film festivals and events is steadily increasing. Still, despite the image of Nordic LGBTQ friendliness and increasing attention to diversity in cultural policies, queer and trans filmmaking and representation in feature length fiction remain relatively scarce. This special issue of lambda nordica on Nordic Queer Cinema and Media aims to address contemporary aspects of queer audiovisual publicity and world-making, as well as the history of queer cinema and media in the Nordic region.

This issue of lambda nordica began from a familiar framing in these times: What is “new” in queer studies? The issue presents a number of emerging scholars, and topics that are being pursued in PhD theses and postdoctoral projects in a range of disciplines, as well as reflections on new queer art.

Läs mer om ÅrsmöteIt has been almost thirty years since Teresa de Lauretis organized the conference at UC Santa Cruz from which queer theory emerged. While starting as a provocation, queer theory has in some ways become normalized as it has been integrated into academic disciplines and course syllabi all over the world. But it has also developed in many directions, and new concepts have come into use to facilitate for queer theory to keep its critical potential and provocative edge. This special issue of lambda nordica aims to address the status of queer theory today, with a particular focus on its theoretical concepts.
Läs mer om Call for Papers: Queer Concepts for the 2020sWhat is the status of queer readings today? Next issue of lambda nordica is a double special issue on queer readings, which has departed from this question, and the contributions show that queer reading practices are highly relevant as well as wide in scope. They display a variety of different queer approaches to literature and texts, and the contributors focus on different genres as well as texts from different time periods. The issue confirms that queer readings is a vital field with the critical potential to challenge norms and power structures, but also to discover new ways in which power operates. Read the new issue here.
