| 520 | |a "The field of postcolonial studies is currently undergoing a crisis - a sense of loss of radicalism due to the academic institutionalisation in recent years. This book explores the current crisis and examines how it is linked to the field's ambiguous relation to postcolonial literary texts by taking a critical look at the relation between postcolonial studies and the idea of the literary. While postcolonial scholars have continuously attempted to expand their scope and frames of reference, the academic field of postcolonial studies is still to a large extent situated in literary departments, even if the literary has often been given little attention. This book is a critical-theoretical investigation of some of the limits and dangers of the contemporary academic field of postcolonial studies, as well as an attempt to formulate an alternative perspective, namely a renewed focus on the potential of the literary and, in particular, literary realism."--Provided by publisher. | ||
