<h3 class="issue-details__title--full"><strong>QUEER TOSQUELLES<br />Anti-Fascism, Vagabonding Psychiatry, Non-Identitarian Lives</strong></h3>
<p>QUEER TOSQUELLES engages with the history of revolutionary, anti-fascist psychiatric practices and their involvement in ways of fleeing and resisting since the 1920s in Spain, France, Italy, and Germany. The texts in this issue focus on the practices of Catalan-French psychiatrist François Tosquelles (1912–1994), who influenced Félix Guattari, Frantz Fanon and many others – from institutional analysis to political philosophy.</p>
<p>Tosquelles is still largely unknown in the German-speaking countries. For some years now, however, a lively reception has been taking place in the art field, especially in Spain and France, with large archival and research exhibitions, catalogues and films.</p>
<p>The texts in this issue consider the genealogies of Tosquelles's manifold surrounds and examine the potentials of his practice today. Here, queerness emerges in many facets: through Tosquelles's insistence on the deconstruction of the nuclear family and the importance of other forms of making kin, through the various rhythms of vagabonding, through the weird, the strange, the non-sensical and the non-normalized, through a political philosophy of multiplicity, through a queering practice that traverses all non-identitarian forms of life.</p>
<p>This issue of <em>transversal</em> publishes the revised lectures from the international QUEER TOSQUELLES conference, organized by Isabell Lorey und Stefan Nowotny, at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne and in cooperation with the eipcp. <a href="https://www.khm.de/queertosquelles/">https://www.khm.de/queertosquelles/</a></p>

<h3><strong>TOSQUELLES transversal<br />Vienna, 3/4 October 2025, conference language: German</strong></h3>
<p>The conference TOSQUELLES transversal updates the manifold genealogies and surrounds of the Catalan-French psychiatrist François Tosquelles (1912-1994). Starting from the transversal practice at the Saint-Alban hospital, which inspired Oury, Guattari, Fanon, Michaud, Deligny, and many others, the lectures deal with the history and current relevance of anti-fascist social assemblages, from institutional analysis to artistic research to political philosophy. Transversality refers not only to institutional practice in the Lozère, Blida, La Borde, and Monoblet, and to the overarching social movements around 1968, but also to the discursive and activist efforts of the eipcp's current publication platform: transversal.at.</p>
<p>An international conference by the eipcp in cooperation with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and the Academy of Media Arts Cologne.</p>
