Issue 36 of P L S magazine proposes to explore the multiplicity, hybridity and fluidity of identities and the ways of loving, the plurality and complexity of our affects and our sexualities. For, there may be no boundaries to the various ways in which we can live out and understand our feelings. With this in mind, this issue has been devised as a reader that compiles different sensibilities, in which the complicity and the contagions between the artists and authors’ works are just as important as their respective contributions. Telling the story of these intimacies, with reciprocity and care for the other, means reconsidering some narratives and voices that are too often neglected in conventional discourses about love. These situated, brief and incisive textual and visual contributions, open out instable and deviant perspectives, like many herbaria of fantasies sown on the fringes of our individualities. In their own way, they resolutely and joyfully subvert the limits of hegemony to flourish in the ground of elusive, subjective and political affinities.
