Opis

From the perspective of the semi-periphery of the academic world-system, this book explores how decolonising the curriculum might work in English studies, one of the fields in university that bears the most robust traces of its imperial and colonial roots. It takes the University of Lisbon as a case study to explore broader questions of how the field can be rethought from within, through Anglophone (post)coloniality and an institutional location in a department of English, while also considering forces from without, as the arguments in this book issue from a specific, liminal positionality outside the Anglosphere. Portugal is semi-peripheral in relation to the 'core' countries in the world-system and must contend with multiple colonial legacies that intersect a long imperial backstory with ongoing cultural colonisations-correspondingly, so must a department of English at the University of Lisbon. The first half of the book explores the critical practice of and the political push for decolonising the university and the curriculum, advancing existing scholarship in this focus on semi-peripheral perspectives. The second half comprises two theoretically-informed and classroom-oriented case studies of adaptation of the literary canon, part of model syllabi that are designed to raise awareness of and encourage an understanding of a global, pluriversal literary history.
