Program
The course aims at exploring some key concepts of postcolonial theory in reference to the transformations and the processes of hybridation of the English language in Anglophone literatures. Through the reading of texts by authors from India, Australia, Nigeria, Canada, the Caribbean and South Africa, and also by black British writers, we will analyse how the historical and cultural processes related to colonialism and postcolonialism have influenced the linguistic choices and strategies of the authors, examining such concepts as, among others, hybridity, appropriation/abrogation, creolization, translanguaging, code-switching, mimicry, naming.
