This volume brings together approaches to, and perspectives on, English, Spanish, and Galician language, literature, and culture from the fields of womens, gender, and queer studies. As its title reflects, the book adopts an inclusive attitude to the so-called others present in these fields. Since queer theory first appeared in academia, its influence has been notorious within both womens and genders. As such, it is vital to queer academia so that it re-conceptualises its foundations; indeed, the contributions here serve to alter the readers consciousness of the terms woman and gender.The first chapters concern the field of discourse analysis. Two discuss the written work of female scientists in the Late Modern Era and their role in society. Another deals with womens political discourse in South America. In the following section on literature, the contributors question the current heteronormative and androcentric ways of reading texts. The works on culture study contemporary genres, such as video games, video clips, and pieces of news, and take readers away from Europe. The Epilogue draws on the books intersubjective spirit to propose a dialogue, among multiple disciplines and the people who practise them. As such, the volume reflects the eclectic nature of queer, womens, and gender studies, and their world-wide acceptance by the scholarly community. See more
