Description

Beyond the Heteronorm: Interrogating Critical Alterities in Global Art & Literature explores exclusionary practices inspired by the construct of gender and how these conventions often misconstrue and convolute sex, gender, and sexual orientation.

The contributors to this collection examine literary and visual representations of critical alterities from around the globe to produce empathic and inclusive analyses of ‘historical, situational, and aspirational kinship’ (Valdes 163) between diverse subordinated and minoritized socio-cultural entities and collectives Organized into three parts, the chapters critique the concepts of personhood, performativity and the post-binary.
