This book offers a hands-on introduction to, and critical engagement with, concepts current in the transcultural field of Anglophone Studies. The book also offers readings of a selection of key texts that tackle transcultural experiences against monodimensional narratives of nation or culture; silenced or complicated memories against established archives and canons; forms of articulating histories of violence and interrogating dominant cultural narratives. This book highlights the potential of literature and art in schooling our critical faculties and our approaches to a complex world.

This book offers a hands-on introduction to, and critical engagement with, concepts current in the transcultural field of Anglophone Studies. This field is not synonymous with, but heavily implicated by, postcolonial studies. Pointing out overlapping horizons this book engages the possibility of thinking literature/art emerging from Anglophone contexts 'otherwise'. In addition to its practice-based introduction to concepts, it offers readings of a selection of key texts that explore transcultural experiences against monodimensional narratives of nation or culture; silenced or complicated memories against established archives and canons; forms of articulating histories of violence and interrogating dominant cultural narratives. Overall, the book highlights the potential of literature/art in schooling our critical faculties and approaches to a world marked by complex forms of hegemony.
