Advanced study by means of selected literary and theoretical texts of the diverse aspects intrinsic to the constitution of cultural identity within the complex, globally diverse English - speaking world. Transhistorical and transcultural perspectives will enable an exploration of the multiple theoretical and literary approaches that have articulated the current notion of a multicultural English - l anguage literature in its sometimes contradictory diversity (with its transcultural, intercultural and intra - cultural interactions). The plurality of perspectives addresses the need to apply such theoretical and analytical tools to the current state of the English - speaking world in its expansive globalization and proliferating identities. |
