JENNY. Issue 11
it's already working out

The focus of the 11th edition is on habits and disruption. Social issues, which are often discussed from a feminist or queer perspective, take on a particular importance. At the same time, the magazine positions itself as explicitly Viennese, with an openness and curiosity towards discourses across the entire linguistic area of Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Issue 11 is also edited by students from the Institute for Language Arts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna: Sophia Naomi Eisenring, Grace Oberholzer and Sara Schmiedl. JENNY now carries her name across the first page and continues to shine with 15 lively texts, young and beautiful, from poetry, essays, prose and their mixed forms. In a somewhat morbid, Viennese, queer-feminist way, she reflects on the security of degrees in new beginnings. Many things remain, new things become, old things speak, some things go.

The authors of this year's edition are: Leon Buchner, Leon Locher, Theresa Seraphin, Phillip Meinert, Emily Grunert, Vanessa Franke, Anna Draxl, Johann Voigt, Katharina Feist-Merhaut, Sina Ahlers, Fabienne Imlinger, Dila Kırmızıtoprak, Michèle Yves Pauty , Muri Darida and Ana Tcheishvili.
Previous editions included texts by Eva Tepest, Raoul Eisele, Giorgio Ferretti, Leonie Lorena Wyss, Alexandra Koch, Caren Jess, Nazli Karabiyikoglu, Luca Manuel Kieser, Lydia Haider, Ronya Othmann, Sokola//Spreter and Raphaela Edelbauer .

The current JENNY is dedicated to the topic “it’s all going well”. It's over, the grandmothers hum in chorus, lulling the pale memories into dreams. No one can tolerate that much shine in the long term, the layers of powder on their cheeks gather dust and are carried away by a gust of wind in the summer heat. What's left is stale air, texts: about conventions, about oppression, about the past that melts to the surface due to the heat. But also: always trying to breathe, take up space and kiss dusty cheeks awake.
The first issue in the second decade of the annual anthology JENNY.
