Hétérographe

Hétérographe was a semiannual French-language literary journal published in French-speaking Switzerland from 2009 to 2013 and distributed in France, Switzerland, and Belgium. Founded by Lou Lepori, it provided a space for questioning gender and LGBT themes through unpublished texts, interviews, essays, and reviews of books and DVDs. Its subtitle, "Revue des homolittératures ou pas :", signaled a queer intellectual and creative positioning. The journal featured contributions from or interviews with thinkers such as Judith Butler, François Cusset, Didier Eribon, Marcela Iacub, Françoise Sironi, Dennis Cooper, Coco Fusco, and Agnès Giard. Although it ceased publication in 2013, its ten issues remain freely downloadable on its website. Each issue presented unpublished literary texts by Francophone authors (Claudine Galéa, Alban Lefranc, Gilles Sebhan, Laurent Herrou, Philippe Rahmy) or in French translation (Emma Donoghue, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Qiu Miaojin, Sharon Olds, Michał Witkowski, Rómulo Bustos Aguirre, Lucy Kirkwood), as well as previously unpublished archival texts (Sandro Penna, Grisélidis Réal, Leonid Dobytchine, Georges Borgeaud, Yéghiché Tcharents, Tony Duvert). Thematic issues included "Enfance" (no. 6, with Claude Ponti, Cathy Ytak, Anne Percin), "Migrations" (no. 8, with Jean Sénac, Gloria Anzaldua, Pedro Lemebel), and "Animalité" (no. 10, with W.H. Auden, Kettly Mars, Yorgos Ioannou, Fabio Pusterla). Each issue also included an image portfolio, with carte blanche given to a visual artist (photographer or illustrator) such as Emmanuelle Antille, Martial Leiter, or Albertine Zullo. The journal's website, www.heterographe.ch, is now a domain for sale, indicating the brand is no longer active.
