Issue number 23 of Lectora. Revista de dones i textualitat, to be published in 2017, will feature a dossier on "Punk connections: A transcultural perspective". This dossier invites contributions that recognize women’s and queer’s active participation in punk subcultures and that engage in it transculturally by exploring punk from a transnational and transhistorical perspective, that is, taking into account other subcultures besides the Anglo ones, such as Spanish punk, or Hispanic punk in the US, aiming to embrace a comparative perspective in punk studies. The coordinators of the dossier are Nuria Triana-Toribio, Full Professor of Spanish at the University of Kent and Cristina Garrigós, Associate Professor of English at the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED). The deadline for the reception of articles is June 1, 2016. Lectora provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
