Moving Centers & Traveling Cultures: Readings in Contemporary Anglophone Literatures

Abstract

This special issue stems from a postgraduate conference on the theme "Moving Centers & Traveling Cultures", hosted at Goethe-University, Frankfurt am Main in October 2018. The title of this special issue references James Clifford's essay "Traveling Cultures" (1997) which constituted an important step in thinking culture through movement and culture as movement. The essays were selected on the basis of each author's presentation at the conference. The Frankfurt conference was the sixth edition of Postcolonial Narrations, a Postgraduate Forum founded in 2013. The format addresses young scholars in the field, MA students, doctoral and (recent) postdoctoral researchers.
