This volume brings together approaches to, and perspectives on,
English, Spanish, and Galician language, literature, and culture
from the fields of women's, 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 women's
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 reader's 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
women's 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 book's 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,
women's, and gender studies, and their world-wide acceptance by the
scholarly community.
