Program
“Passages to and from the Empire”
Introductory lectures will be devoted to the literary and historical background of the Imperial and Postcolonial age. Later, by reading and elaborating on the texts students will be presented with the literary definition of English identity or “Englishness” and the rhetorical and ideological dynamics of its construction, codification, fragmentation and redefinition during the age of British imperialism and over the following years of its loss of power, of de-colonization and “reverse colonization”.
