The contributors to this volume analyze and map these friendly, amorous, sexual, political and artistic contacts within and around contemporary fictions of Romance cultures. They show how these works question, challenge and rethink circulating concepts of relationships and implement them aesthetically. This volume integrates contributions from feminist, queer and decolonial studies just as sociology of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTeresa Hiergeist (Edited by) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Teresa Hiergeist is a professor of French and Spanish literature and cultural studies at the Department of Romance Studies at Universit?t Wien.
