A queer feminist literature project
The cooperative project QUEER.LIT aims to put a special focus on queer feminist literature in our collection by establishing the QUEER.LIT SHELF in the university library during winter semester 2021/22 and summer semester 2022. The QUEER.LIT SHELF will move around the library on a monthly basis to emphasise the issue's interdisciplinarity from politics and design all the way to urban planning. Queer feminist manifestos and reference books will feature prominently, as will novels with queer characters and themes. New titles will continually be rotated in, and all books can be borrowed directly. The QUEER.LIT project also intends to increase the visibility of queer feminist literature and provide impulses to consider the viewpoints of members of the Flinta* (German short for women, lesbian, intergender, nonbinary, trans and agender) and LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual/-gender, Queer, Intersexual and Asexual) communities. It was initiated and is organized by students at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, supported by the CatCalls of Weimar collective and is carried out in cooperation with the university library.
