Essays Sought for a Special Issue of GLQ on Queer Arts

GLQ is currently soliciting essays for a special issue on queer arts, to be guest-edited by David Román and Richard Meyer.

The editors encourage new and innovative work on any aspect of the visual and performing arts and are receptive to diverse critical methods and a broad range of artistic practices. We would like especially to encourage submissions that draw on original archival research. The archives at issue may extend from the traditional to the obscure, from the historical past to the contemporary moment, and from the local to the global. Essays addressing music, theater, dance, performance, painting, photography, sculpture, fashion, design, digital arts, and new media are encouraged. Essays on film and television will be also be considered, especially work on independent or non-U.S. commercial media. The issue will focus on artistic practices that have been little studied or addressed by queer theory.

Please submit 500-word abstracts to David Román at davidr@usc.edu by January 15, 2005. Please do not submit complete essays at this point.

Call for Reviewers

We would like to solicit your participation as a reviewer for "Books in Brief," the new section of book reviews in GLQ that is sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian Caucus for the Modern Languages.

This book review section, which features reviews of less than one thousand words, was previously published as part of LGSN, the former newsletter of the Caucus. We are pleased to have the opportunity to reach a wider readership and to offer reviews that address the interdisciplinary interests of GLQ. We would like to engage the broadest possible spectrum of reviewers to represent the full complexity of interests and concerns in sexuality studies; therefore we encourage participants from all disciplinary backgrounds, from all geographic locations, from all academic ranks and institutions, from independent scholars, and from all traditional and emerging fields of study.

If you would like to be a reviewer or have suggestions for books to be reviewed, please send name, academic or other affiliation, address, telephone, e-mail, other contact information, and field(s) in which you are qualified to review (by e-mail, if possible) to

Crompton-Noll Award

The Crompton-Noll Award for the best essay in lesbian, gay, queer studies in modern languages and literatures is given annually by the Gay and Lesbian Caucus of the Modern Language Association. Now in its twenty-fourth year, the award pays tribute to Louis Crompton (University of Nebraska at Lincoln) and Dolores Noll (Kent State University), two early scholar-activists who helped found the caucus. The award recognizes the important work of lesbian, gay, and queer studies in the modern languages and the history that has helped make this current work possible.
