DISOBEDIENCE
“For us, disobedience means to disagree with what is imposed upon us and to act in opposition, to protest in language, action or thought, to resist, to expose, to confront, to withdraw and, with each act, to propose a new kind of rhythm to the world. In this moment, we want to invite you to look toward disobedience as, above all, necessary”

a note on publication for Autumn 2025
There are quite a few ways to go about disobedience – our selected theme for the Autumn 2025 issue of RevUU. We look towards disobedience as a transformative practice of resistance. Whether literary, academic, or linguistic, we want to highlight disobedience as capable of exposing structures of power. To disobey is to oppose, consequently – to protest.
The Autumn 2025 issue of RevUU highlights criticism and writing engaging with the theme of disobedience against, among so many significant others, structures of oppression, genre categorisation, cultural erasure, and forgetting.
