商品簡介
This book addresses the rise of the concept of the "Global Anglophone” in contemporary literary studies, both as an intellectual category and as a field designation. Moving beyond traditional postcolonial frameworks, it investigates how this emerging paradigm is reshaping our understanding of modern English-language literature across geographical boundaries. Distinguished scholars from diverse regions of the English-speaking world reveal how the Global Anglophone has evolved from a subset of postcolonial studies into a comprehensive framework for examining modern literary production in English. Through rigorous analysis and argumentation, the contributors demonstrate how this conceptual transformation reflects broader changes in academic field structures, job markets, and our understanding of world literature. Essential reading for literary scholars, The Global Anglophone interrogates the future of English literary studies while offering valuable insights into the shifting landscape of contemporary academia. It challenges conventional categorizations and proposes new ways of understanding the complex relationships among language, literature, and global cultural exchange. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Interventions: Journal of Postcolonial Studies.
