'Notions of Otherness' is a collection of literary essays that approaches the idea of alterity politically, aesthetically, ethically, culturally and sexually in a diachronic manner.
One can approach the notion of otherness or alterity in various ways: politically, aesthetically, ethically, culturally, religiously and sexually.
