This volume showcases ten years of research on language, gender and
sexuality informed by queer theory. In line with a queer dislike
for any normalizing discourse and practice, the book gives a
multi-faceted set of applications of queer theoretical ideas to
linguistic analysis. The chapters that open the book engage with
theoretical debates about identity and desire, and the
relationships between these concepts. The following contributions
offer linguistic precision to two key areas of queer theoretical
interest, namely the critique of heteronormativity and the
deconstruction of the gender binary. The final chapters pick up on
some of the thematic threads of the book, but locate them within
recent developments in the study of language and space. With
examples from a variety of sociopolitical contexts - Denmark,
Greece, Serbia, Sweden, South Africa, USA - and discursive sites -
phrasebooks, school interactions, literary texts, as well as online
dating sites and chats - the book gives a critical overview of how
gender, sexuality and power can be queered through linguistic
analysis.
