This book investigates how decolonising the curriculum might work
in English studies - one of the fields that bears the most robust
traces of its imperial and colonial roots - from the perspective of
the semi-periphery of the academic world- system. It takes the
University of Lisbon as a point of departure 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. The first half of the book
examines the critical practice of and the political push for
decolonising the university and the curriculum, advancing existing
scholarship with this focus on semi-peripheral perspectives. The
second half comprises two theoretically-informed and
classroom-oriented case studies of adaptation of the literary
canon, a part of model syllabi that are designed to raise awareness
of and encourage an understanding of a global, pluriversal literary
history.
