Gender and queer as multicultural discourses

摘要

A number of communication scholars have paid extensive attention to critical issues in gender and queer discourses. For example, Wood (2011, 23) considered that gender 'is neither innate nor necessarily stable', adding that it 'involves outward expressions of what society considers masculine or feminine'. In order to properly examine gender and communication, Borisoff and Chesebro (2011, 2)considered the role of sexuality, stating that 'Sexuality recognizes the biology of people, but it highlights the social and psychological characteristics and attributes that people give or attribute to sex'.
