both contexts. Xtext focuses on the tensions around issues of theory,
identities, cultural differences, racism, ethnicities, sexualities and
feminisms. Xtext  also publishes contributions which address marginalised
issues and/or demonstrate alternative representations of current issues,
especially those favoured by mainstream media. Editorial committee: Paula
