![]() Producers of these texts have to consider a global audience part of whom is likely to reject material that offers alternatives to heteronormativity. The paper concludes by identifying challenges, in particular for EFL textbook writers and publishers. Heteronormativity vis à vis homonormativity is then discussed in relation to the analysis of a large collection of picturebooks featuring same-sex parents, the results of which suggest that, although gay and lesbian parents feature as central characters, the manner of representation largely reflects heteronormative relationships and parenting discourses. The prevalence of heteronormativity in the Harry Potter series is considered in relation to broad aspects of identity (gender, sexuality, class). The authors then consider representations of sexuality in children's fiction. ![]() The authors look at heteronormativity in these overtly pedagogical texts and consider some implications for textbook writers and analysts when challenging predominantly heteronormative representations of sexu-ality in these texts. The study firstly focuses on the study of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks, giving an overview of research from the literature. ![]() This paper examines representations of heteronormativity (and its influence) across several kinds of literature aimed at a child (and sometimes adult) audience, and does so by examining relationships between language and sexuality.
