Description:
This volume of selected papers from the Journal of Contemporary
Thought of the Forum on Contemporary Theory of the Maharaja
Sayajirao University of Baroda commemorates the tenth
anniversary of the publication of the Journal (1991-2000).
The papers are organized around the topic of the discipline
of English studies : its history, institutional context,
transformation, and pedagogical and curricular imperative.
As the discipline is situated within a complex context
of intersections of several attitudes and ideologies
involving the intricate processes of knowledge-formation
in both colonial and postcolonial settings, the essays
included in the volume both address specific questions
about English studies and broad questions about English
studies and board questions about the social and political
ideologies and its ongoing debate regarding its curricular
and pedagogical imperatives. The volume will provide
a useful resources to both literary scholars and scholars
from the sister disciplines in the humanities and social
sciences.
