We are looking particularly for essays relating literary studies and sexuality studies with each other, answering to the publication's subject matter. We are especially interested in papers taking polemical positions concerning the relationship between narrative forms and content and cultural/philosophic implications.

The word count includes foot notes but excludes works-cited lists and translations, which should accompany foreign language quotations. High resolution pictures (max. 10 per essay) will be considered for print. Each article submitted is send to two reviewers in international departments of literary study and psychology. Articles recommended by these readers are then sent to the members of the editorial board, who meet in late January 2009 to make final decisions.
