As a research field, Cultural Studies is still growing, offering researchers and readers alike a place for discussion of highly diverse topics and artistic expressions. The present volume brings but a taste of not only what the field is nowadays, but also of what it can become in the following years. Through the analysis of various texts –novels, films, TV series, and video games– the chapters included illustrate how cultures and societies act, react, and interact with one another or within themselves. The 11 Early Career Researchers who contributed to this volume have done so by exploring feminism, queerness and other under-researched concepts like empathy, foodways, transculturalism or instapoetry. "Reloading and Unleashing Cultural Studies: New Trends and Perspectives" presents a fresh and up to date account of cultural matters which are relevant to our contemporary society.
