The Conference will be held in Florence on 4-5 June 2026 organised by QUEER FEMINIST STUDIES WORKING GROUP; QUEER BUDAPEST; QUEER, TRANS, INTERSEX STUDIES COLLECTIVE; POLITESSE and calls to researchers, thinkers, workers, and artists who deal with fragments, fragmenting, and fragmentation: fragments as sources and inspirations; fragmenting as an instance of deconstruction and radical
imagination; fragmentation as a posture to think through reality and practice
change. Queer Fragments invites its participants to question implied wholes and
totalities; to disrupt narratives while celebrating addenda, palimpsests,
shreddings; to ask, once again, why are queer lives made dispensable, triable,
unlivable.
In short, Queer Fragments aspires to be an opportunity to start thinking and
acting from the fragments.
