This book gathers together essays by international cultural scholars, including a small group of academics within the growing, interdisciplinary area that is cultural studies on the Iberian Peninsula. The contributors to this volume use the idea of unofficial knowledge(s) as an interpretive device to reflect on forms of power within culture(s). The contributions are divided into two parts: part one includes papers which focus on a variety of cultural products or practices in order to explore ideological issues like class, race or ethnicity, sex or sexuality and to link them to questions of representation, identity and power. In part two there is a group of studies that shares these thematic concerns but has grown out of socio-linguistics, pragmatics, critical discourse analysis, intercultural relations research and ethnographic analysis.

The Editors: David Walton (1955) has a Ph.D. in English and lectures on Philology and Culture and Literary Theory in the Department of English at the University of Murcia.

Dagmar Scheu (1960) has a Ph.D. in English and lectures on Philology and Culture and Discourse Analysis in the Department of English at the University of Murcia. She has published extensively on cultural questions related to intercultural communication and discourse analysis.
