Beschreibung
Transcultural Anglophone Studies (TAS) engages with the
cultural production of speakers of World English in any part
of the former British Empire, and the migrational diasporas
resulting thereof. Anglophone texts – in print or other
media – have had a tremendous impact despite their
relatively `belated‘ entry to the cultural field. Since TAS
forms a vast, heteronomous research area, this Introduction
is a first guide for students and researchers. In providing
analytical tools for engaging with these exceptional texts,
it situates them in the larger context of globalization and
neocolonialism.
Martina Ghosh-Schellhorn is Professor for
Transcultural Anglophone Studies and anglophone Cultures at
the University of the Saarland/Germany. She is the
initiator of TAS, specializes in life narratives,
memorialization and museum studies, and revisionist
historiography.
