Literature in a Globalized World: Creative and Critical Perspectives
Under the heading „Literature in a Globalized World: Creative and Critical Perspectives” the chair of English Literature and Cultural Studies collaborates with Jawaharlal Nehru University Delhi, India.
This programme allows students who are enrolled in the MA ‘English Speaking Cultures’ at Würzburg University to build a profile in literature and globalization studies, a new and expanding field that engages with the role of ways literary texts provide creative and critical perspectives on processes of globalization. Students also acquire knowledge of key theoretical texts that provide a methodology for studying literature in transnational contexts.
