Queer in Translation
As the field of translation studies has developed, translators and translation scholars have become more aware of the unacknowledged ideologies inherent both in texts themselves and in the mechanisms that affect their circulation. This book both analyses the translation of queerness and applies queer thought to issues of translation. It sheds light on the manner in which heteronormative societies influence the selection, reading and translation o…
The Case of the Missing Bisexuals”
As it becomes more accepted and indeed even desirable to discuss different types of sexuality and different kinds of family set-ups with children, it is vital to analyze how children's books and young adult novels portray these topics.

So the question then b…

How are non-heterosexualities portrayed in children's literature? Which non-heterosexualities are featured and why? What information and beliefs do these books expose children to? And why does that matter? In this article, I analyse a number of books in English for children, both picture books and books for older readers, in order to see how the United States and the United Kingdom understand and portray non-heterosexualities. Understanding wheth…
