Angebote / Angebote:

What is the true situation of English studies in the twenty-first century? This illuminating manifesto presents a succinct, carefully documented assessment of the current state and likely future of English studies around the world. By treating the global trends and trajectories of English studies with respect to actual student enrollments, faculty employment, curricular emphases, and emergent subfields, James F. English not only challenges many of the standard narratives of the decline of English studies, but turns them on their ear. With remarkable clarity, he shows how English functions within a global higher educational enterprise of massive scale and increasing integration, a system that is growing unevenly but rapidly around the world, and effecting major shifts in the flows of cultural capital. Offering thought-provoking insights into the new challenges and opportunities presented by the spread of English studies, this is essential reading for anyone interested in studying or teaching English in higher education.
