Dear Fellow Linguists,

A dear colleague of mine asked me to inform the linguistic community about
a new interdisciplinary journal.

torquere warmly invites submissions of completed scholarly papers or
creative writing to be published in our forthcoming issues

Aims and Scope

torquere seeks to publicize scholarly and creative work on topics
concerning queer aspects of Canada and its social, political, material, and
textual culture, or on queer topics outside Canadian Studies by scholars
conducting queer research in Canada. We welcome a diversity of approaches
from a wide spectrum of areas - from Sociology, History, Political Science, Anthropology, Education, the Sciences, Business, Law,
English, French, Modern Language Studies, Cultural Studies, Native
Studies, Women's Studies, Philosophy, Drama, Film and Media Studies,
Religious Studies, Religion, Music and the Fine Arts. torquere also
welcomes previously unpublished creative writing and visual art by and
about Canadian queer, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered
people. We are particularly interested in work that seeks to play with
conventional forms and genres in ways that are innovative and
challenging.
