While social values outside of academia are changing from nationalism to globalization, much of English studies remains entrenched in nationalist discourses. Editor Bruce McComiskey and his contributors argue that English studies must shift from a national (petrified, zombified) to a global (cosmopolitan, planetary) orientation in order to remain relevant.
In this sequel to the popular English Studies: An Introduction to the Discipline(s), McComiskey proposes seven principles to reimagine English studies for increased relevance: - Conceive the discipline as a process.
- Seek difference.
- Expand what counts as literature.
- Promote adaptive practices.
- Value technology.
- Embrace collaboration.
- Take a public turn.
Each chapter explores a different discipline within English studies from the perspective of difference: linguistics by Jacquelyn Rahman, rhetoric and composition by Victor Villanueva, creative writing by Sarah Sandman, literature and literary criticism by Richard C. Taylor, critical theory and cultural studies by Jeffrey J. Williams, and English education by Tonya B. Perry. All play vital and distinct but interrelated roles in this proposed shift toward a globally oriented English studies.
