Mester UCLA Call for Papers, Issue 53
General Issue: Queer Resistance
Special Topic Trans Violence in Contemporary Latin American Culture
Mester has extended the deadline for the call for submissions for its 53rd issue. We are the graduate student academic journal of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UCLA. Our scholarly magazine publishes academic articles, interviews, and book reviews on Iberian, Latin American, Brazilian, Luso-African, Latinx, and Chicanx literature, culture, and linguistics. Mester is seeking submissions that shape and inform queer resistance and the challenges it encounters in contemporary literary representation and cultural production. As a critical praxis of resistance, what do writing, filming, performing, and reading queerly (re)present?
