qui parle

qui parle For the past thirty years, Qui Parle has published outstanding theoretical and critical work in the humanities and social sciences.

qui parle is a critical humanities and social sciences journal chaired by graduate students of University of California, Berkeley and published by Duke University Press. Run by an independent group of graduate students since its founding at the University of California, Berkeley, the journal aims to start critical conversations and introduce new analytic modes by bringing together diverse scholarl

About Us

An interdisciplinary humanities and social science journal founded at the University of California, Berkeley in 1986, qui parle is dedicated to expanding the horizons of scholarly practice - acting as a site of critique and productive theorization in the human sciences broadly defined. In addition to its ongoing commitment to arts, literature, and philosophy, the journal aims to bring new vantage points to questions that have also become more pressing within those disciplinary formations. In particular, the journal looks to explore questions of cultural alterity, critical media and aesthetics, decolonization, theories of subjectivity, global political violence, the philosophy and anthropology of science, the practice of critical theory in the Global South and the study of secularity and religion. The journal has featured the work of thinkers the likes of Giorgio Agamben, Jared Sexton, Rei Terada, Judith Butler, Hélène Cixous, Jacques Derrida, Michael Hardt, Saidiya Hartman, Friedrich Kittler, Saba Mahmood, Catherine Malabou, David Marriott, Jean-Luc Nancy, Sianne Ngai, Jacques Rancière, Gianni Vattimo, Frank B. Wilderson, and Jenny Sharpe, among many others. qui parle also regularly curates special issues and dossiers organized around burgeoning intellectual topics and theoretical problems whose implications span the humanities and social sciences and reflect the varied interests of the editorial board, which is comprised of UC Berkeley graduate students.

The journal is published twice a year by Duke University Press, and is mainly supported by the Townsend Center for Humanities at Berkeley. It is available through the Duke University Press website, Project MUSE, and JSTOR.
