MA English Literary Studies - World and Postcolonial Cultures

The World and Postcolonial Cultures pathway gives you the opportunity to specialise in film, literature, and critical theoretical concepts. You will be taught by scholars with expertise in archival studies and material cultures, critical theory, ecocriticism, commodity fictions, film studies, print cultures, and the creative industries. This pathway allows you to explore issues such as anti-colonial nationalism, neo-colonialism, writing Black Britain, trans-nationalism, resource conflicts, Black Power, partition and border conflicts, and world revolutions in film and fiction. This pathway highlights the transformation of research in World and Postcolonial film and literatures in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and encourages you to think in an interdisciplinary way. It will enable you to question the range of stylistic, artistic, and theoretical responses to the dynamic cultural and socio-political changes directly linked to the colonial experience, decolonisation, neo-colonialism, and globalisation across regions as diverse as, but not limited to, Africa, Britain, the Caribbean, and East and South Asia.
