Such a choice of variety shows that representations of deviance accommodate meaning-making spaces and possibilities for resistance in different socio-cultural and literary contexts. The construct of the deviant woman is analysed from literary, sociolinguistic and historical-cultural perspectives, revealing insights about cultures and societies. Furthermore, the studies recognise and explain the significance of the concept of deviance in relation to gender that bespeaks a contemporary cultural concern about narratives of femininity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Anna Foka: Beyond Deviant: Theodora as the Other in Byzantine Imperial Historiography – Wang Lei:\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eGhosts and Spirits as the \u003ci\u003eobjet \u003c\/i\u003ea in Pu Songling’s \u003ci\u003eStrange Tales from Make-Do Studio \u003c\/i\u003e– Sanna Karkulehto\/Ilmari Leppihalme: Deviant Will to Knowledge: The Pandora Myth and Its Feminist Revisions – Tiina Mäntymäki:\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eCarnivalesque Masquerade.
