    “The Future of Bisexuality”

    A special double issue of The Journal of Bisexuality

     Edited by Jonathan Alexander, PhD, University of California, Irvine

    • How has the emergence of bisexuality in specific communities, in the mass media, in the public sphere affected larger discourses about sex and sexuality?  What are some long-term ramifications of such effects?
    • How do bisexuals and bisexual communities affect social spaces—and how might such spaces be changed by the presence of bi- and bi-friendly people?
    • What particular effects—social, ideological, political—are made possible by the increasing visibility of “B” in the LGBT conglomerate?  How has the LGBT community changed—and how might it continue to change—because of a growing “B” presence?
    • How might increasing understandings of bisexual or bi-erotic relations in other cultures affect Western understandings and topologies of sex and sexuality?
    • What might future sexualities look like, and how might contemporary bisexuality impact the construction of such identities?
    • What does science fiction (or even science “fact” about sex and sexuality) tell us about the future of bisexuality?
    Queries should be sent to Dr. Jonathan Alexander at jamma@fuse.net.  Proposals for articles should be submitted by October 1, 2007.  Full drafts of requested articles will be due December 21, 2007.
