LGBTQ+ from another point of view

The aim of this book is to analyze the point of view of Japanese authors and producers on LGBTQ issues through Japanese anime. Adopting the process of discourse analysis to try to highlight the way in which the theme is used in the speeches and behavior of the characters, in a generally subtle way and with a wealth of detail, typical of Japanese audiovisual works, and using Sonya Luyten's studies as a reference. The material provides a brief historical overview and structural analysis of Western society and its relationship with sexuality and gender identity, using Queer Theory studies and references in the field such as Michel Foucault, Leadro Colling and Richard Miskolci. Above all, we sought to analyze how society deals with LGBTQ issues and how the reception of anime material is viewed by Western society, especially in relation to its distribution to the children's market.
