Vol. 3 No. 1 (2026): Special issue: Living bodies, not a straight line. Queer temporalities in contemporary fiction

This special issue aims to open a space for interdisciplinary reflection on queer temporalities in fiction, considering both their narrative figurations and the formal procedures that allow for the distortion, rarefaction, highlighting, or decomposition of linear time. Rather than identifying a new canon, it seeks to explore how these fictions make visible the political dimension of time and open fissures in the narratives that dictate which lives arrive on time and which are left out of history. The works that inform the contributions in this special issue emphasize the power of deviations, repetitions, and interruptions: living bodies that, in their way of inhabiting time, resist becoming linear.
