This Companion provides a guide to queer inquiry in literary and cultural studies. The essays represent new and emerging areas, including transgender studies, indigenous studies, disability studies, queer of color critique, performance studies, and studies of digital culture. Rather than being organized around a set of literary texts defined by a particular theme, literary movement, or demographic, this volume foregrounds a queer critical approach that moves across a wide array of literary traditions, genres, historical periods, national contexts, and media. This book traces the intellectual and political emergence of queer studies, addresses relevant critical debates in the field, provides an overview of queer approaches to genres, and explains how queer approaches have transformed understandings of key concepts in multiple fields.

La presència de la naturalesa en l’obra teatral d’Àngel Guimerà (1845-1924), escrita en el decurs de més de quaranta anys, proporciona troballes fascinants. Més enllà de la popularitat que han assolit peces com Mar i cel i Terra baixa, aquest llibre convida a llegir el seu teatre complet a partir de tres enfocaments que, conjugats, amplien la concepció estètica guimeraniana: primer, els ambients en què l’autor situa les obres i, en particular, la dialèctica camp-ciutat; segon, els elements naturals, en què s’inclouen, posem per cas, els àpats i els paisatges, i, tercer, el simbolisme que el dramaturg atorga als racons de la naturalesa, que permet fer una interpretació més aprofundida de la seva visió de l’espai. Aquest estudi demostra que l’obra dramàtica de Guimerà, un clàssic d’una vigència indiscutible, encara suscita mirades noves i suggeridores.

Irene Madreiters Studie "Stereotypisierung – Idealisierung – Indifferenz" befasst sich mit einem Thema, dessen Relevanz bis in die Gegenwart zu verfolgen ist: der Auseinandersetzung mit fremden Kulturen. Im konkreten Fall handelt es sich um die Wahrnehmung des Achaimeniden/Achämeniden-Reiches in historiographischen Quellen des vierten Jahrhunderts v. Chr. Madreiter untersucht mit Hilfe moderner sozialpsychologischer und literaturwissenschaftlicher Instrumentarien, wie die Achaimeniden in der sogenannten Persika-Literatur dargestellt wurden. Durch exakte Analyse des Perser-Stereotyps bei Ktesias, Dinon und Herakleides wird dessen Inhalt, Uniformität und Veränderung deutlich. Die gewonnenen Ergebnisse werden in den Kontext des sozio-politischen Diskurses über Persien gestellt, der sich in literarischen, inschriftlichen und archäologischen Zeugnissen manifestiert. Gerade der Vergleich der kleinasiatischen Persika-Autoren mit zeitgleichen athenischen Rhetoren oder Komödiendichtern macht deutlich, dass der biographische Hintergrund des jeweiligen Autors zu unterschiedlichen Wahrnehmungen der Achaimeniden führte. Dabei reichte das Spektrum von extremer Abwertung, über Idealisierung bis hin zu einer absichtlichen Negierung bzw. Normalisierung der anderen Kultur. So entstand jenes verzerrte Orient-Bild, das bis heute das westliche Denken prägt, jedoch mit einer historischen Realität des vierten vorchristlichen Jahrhunderts wenig bis gar nichts gemein hat.

To recent studies of Renaissance subjectivity, Anxious Masculinity in Early Modern England contributes the argument that masculinity is unavoidably anxious and volatile in cultures that distribute power and authority according to patriarchal prerogatives. Drawing from current arguments in feminism, cultural studies, historicism, psychoanalysis and gay studies, Mark Breitenberg explores the dialectic of desire and anxiety in masculine subjectivity in the work of a wide range of writers, including Shakespeare, Bacon, Burton and the women writers of the 'querelles des femmes' debate, especially Jane Anger. Breitenberg discusses jealousy and cuckoldry anxiety, hetero and homoerotic desire, humoural psychology, anatomical difference, cross-dressing and the idea of honour and reputation. He traces masculine anxiety both as a sign of ideological contradiction and, paradoxically, as a productive force in the perpetuation of western patriarchal systems.

Literature and Theology, a quarterly peer-review journal, provides a critical non-confessional forum for both textual analysis and theoretical speculation, encouraging explorations of how religion is embedded in culture. Contributions should address questions pertinent to both literary study and theology broadly understood, and be consistent with the Journal's overall aim: to engage with and reshape traditional discourses within the studies of literature and religion, and their cognate fields - biblical criticism, literary criticism, philosophy, politics, culture studies, gender studies, artistic theory/practice, and contemporary critical theory/practice.
