JENNY WEBB 174 NOUVELLES DES COMITÉS DE RECHERCHE / NEWS FROM THE RESEARCH COMMITTEES 179 NOTES BIOGRAPHIQUES / NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS 207 From World Literature to Postcolonial Literary Studies: Comparative Journeys THE COVER ART for this year’s issue of Recherche littéraire/Literary Research, a pastiche of John Singer Sargent’s “Autumn on the River, Miss Violette Sargent,” tantalizingly invites us on comparative journeys across diverse literary landscapes. More specifically, this issue’s meanders enable us to discover recently published books about world literature, comparative po- etics in a more traditional sense, and postcolonial literary studies. These itineraries will undoubtedly prompt us to rethink the boundaries of our complex discipline, while also leading us to a renewed appreciation of the wealth of comparatist approaches. This process would not be possible without the help of the unjustly neglected art of reviewing, a form of writ- ing of which this issue abundantly illustrates the flexibility. The review essays, book reviews, and conference reports assembled here will hope- fully give readers an opportunity to explore the new territories charted by current comparative literature scholarship. The three review essays opening this issue demonstrate the deeply dialogical nature of our discipline. In “Worlding World Literature,” Theo D’haen surveys contemporary scholarly debates in the often contentious field of world literature. By contrast, Mireille Naturel reflects on the cur- rent state of the art in Proust studies. ZHANG Longxi sheds light on another important facet of the discipline in his review essay of an ICLA research book about literature and other arts. The first cluster of the numerous book reviews collected here echoes Theo D’haen’s considerations on world literature. Reviews by César Dominguez, Gerald Gillespie, Hans Bertens, and Randolph Pope discuss books dealing with specific issues related to globalization and world lit- erature in different cultural contexts. A long central section, devoted to time-honored issues in the field of comparative literature, is ushered in 2 recherche littéraire / literary research by Massimo Fusillo’s discussion of Introducing Comparative Literature: New Trends and Applications, co-authored by César Dominguez, Haun Saussy, and Dario Villanueva, a book that offers fresh perspectives on the discipline. Further titles reviewed in this part of the journal deal with topics as diverse as literary theory, media aesthetics, literary inscription of portraits, narration of the self, trauma and testimonies, literary pluri- lingualism, symbolist dramaturgies, religion and literature, as well as lit- erature and neuroscience. This section concludes with Assumpta Camps’s review of an important volume published in the ICLA’s ongoing series on the Comparative History of Literatures in European Languages, Marcel Cornis-Pope’s edited New Literary Hybrids in the Age of Multimedia Ex- pression. A final cluster of book reviews focuses on postcolonial literary studies. Arguably, the latter are related to comparative literature through their engagement with oppressed and marginalized individuals, as well as through their emphasis on a multiplicity of cultural contexts, diasporic predicaments, and multi-ethnic and transnational issues. The link be- tween postcolonial texts and translation is tackled in Simona Bertaccio’s book, Language and Translation in Postcolonial Literatures, reviewed by Jean-Marc Moura. This section of the journal is the most radically non- Eurocentric, as it includes

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2006 the International Writing Program At
    ANNUAL REPORT 2006 The International Writing Program at The University of Iowa 1 Greetings, I am pleased to send you the annual report of the International Writing Program (IWP), which for nearly forty years has offered a unique residency for professional writers from around the world. The literary community created by the IWP, a community of poets, fiction writers, essayists, playwrights and screenwriters from more than 120 countries, stands as a testament to the myriad ways in which service to the word, in every language, can help to bridge differences between peoples and nations divided. Only connect—the governing idea of the program—means that we devote the fall to connecting writers to readers, translators, students and people from every background. And this report offers a glimpse into some of the connections that last year’s writers made. I am also pleased to tell you that the IWP is evolving in a dynamic fashion. In 2006 we hosted our first symposium on the Greek island of Paros, bringing together writers from every corner of the earth to discuss what we hold in common. A Greek film maker made a documentary about the symposium and an e-book of the essays written for the occasion is in the works. As I write these lines we are preparing not only for another symposium, on the subject of justice, but also for a tour of the Middle East designed to introduce some of America’s most prominent writers to their counterparts in Syria, Jordan, Israel and the West Bank. In the spring of 2008, in partnership with the University of Iowa’s Young Writers Studio, we will launch a project called Between the Lines, bringing a dozen high school students from six Arabic-speaking countries to take part in a summer writing workshop, which we expect to deepen our connection to this strategic part of the world, creating new networks of writers and readers.

  • Colonialism Postcolonialism
    SECOND EDITION Colonialism/Postcolonialism is both a crystal-clear and authoritative introduction to the field and a cogently-argued defence of the field’s radical potential. It’s exactly the sort of book teachers want their stu- dents to read. Peter Hulme, Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies, University of Essex Loomba is a keen and canny critic of ever-shifting geopolitical reali- ties, and Colonialism/Postcolonialism remains a primer for the aca- demic and common reader alike. Antoinette Burton, Department of History, University of Illinois It is rare to come across a book that can engage both student and specialist. Loomba simultaneously maps a field and contributes provocatively to key debates within it. Situated comparatively across disciplines and cultural contexts, this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in postcolonial studies. Priyamvada Gopal, Faculty of English, Cambridge University Colonialism/Postcolonialism moves adroitly between the general and the particular, the conceptual and the contextual, the local and the global, and between texts and material processes. Distrustful of established and self-perpetuating assumptions, foci and canonical texts which threaten to fossilize postcolonial studies as a discipline, Loomba’s magisterial study raises many crucial issues pertaining to social structure and identity; engaging with different modes of theory and social explanation in the process. There is no doubt that this book remains the best general introduction to the field. Kelwyn Sole, English Department, University of Cape Town Lucid and incisive this is a wonderful introduction to the contentious yet vibrant field of post-colonial studies. With consummate ease Loomba maps the field, unravels the many strands of the debate and provides a considered critique.

  • Transnational Ireland on Stage: America to Middle East in Three Texts
    Transnational Ireland on Stage: America to Middle East in Three Texts Wei H. Kao Introduction: Between the Local and the Global on the Irish Stage Historically, the comprehensive Anglicisation of Ireland from the early nineteenth century, and the geopolitical location of Ireland in Europe, have laid the foundations for more Irish participation on the world stage. The rapid globalisation process, however, has not fully removed the frustration buried deep in the Irish psyche about the country still being in partition, but it has encouraged many contemporary playwrights to express concerns regarding other areas that are just as troubled as the state of their country, despite the fact that the Northern Ireland issue is not yet fully resolved. It is noteworthy that globalisation, as the continuation of nineteenth- and twentieth-century imperialism in a new form, not only carries forward the exercise of colonial incursion but facilitates the oppressively homogenising effects on the less advantaged Other. This is partly due to the rise of critical theory to ‘productively complicate the nationalist paradigm’ by embarking on transnationalism since the 1970s.1 One consequence of this was to prompt reevaluations of existing cultural productions, thus initiating cross-cultural and interethnic dialogues that had usually been absent in colonial and Eurocentric establishments, and prompting the public to envisage the Other across both real and imagined borders. Even more significantly, the meaning of a text starts to shift if it is studied in an international context, and this applies particularly to a text in which the characters venture into unexplored territories and impel ‘meaning [to] transform as it travels’.2 The transformation of meanings is further accelerated by intercultural encounters that are motivated by globalisation that interconnects individuals and societies around the world.

  • The Role of Indigenous Languages in Southern Sudan: Educational Language Policy and Planning
    The Role of Indigenous Languages in Southern Sudan: Educational Language Policy and Planning H. Wani Rondyang A thesis submitted to the Institute of Education, University of London, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2007 Abstract This thesis aims to questions the language policy of Sudan's central government since independence in 1956. An investigation of the root causes of educational problems, which are seemingly linked to the current language policy, is examined throughout the thesis from Chapter 1 through 9. In specific terms, Chapter 1 foregrounds the discussion of the methods and methodology for this research purposely because the study is based, among other things, on the analysis of historical documents pertaining to events and processes of sociolinguistic significance for this study. The factors and sociolinguistic conditions behind the central government's Arabicisation policy which discourages multilingual development, relate the historical analysis in Chapter 3 to the actual language situation in the country described in Chapter 4. However, both chapters are viewed in the context of theoretical understanding of language situation within multilingualism in Chapter 2. The thesis argues that an accommodating language policy would accord a role for the indigenous Sudanese languages. By extension, it would encourage the development and promotion of those languages and cultures in an essentially linguistically and culturally diverse and multilingual country. Recommendations for such an alternative educational language policy are based on the historical and sociolinguistic findings in chapters 3 and 4 as well as in the subsequent discussions on language policy and planning proper in Chapters 5, where theoretical frameworks for examining such issues are explained, and Chapters 6 through 8, where Sudan's post-independence language policy is discussed.

  • The Spread of English Among Saudis in the Era of Globalization: a Friend Or a Foe?
    The Spread of English among Saudis in the Era of Globalization: A Friend or a Foe? Turki Alsolami English Language Institute Faculty of applied Studies King Abdulaziz University Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Nashwa Saaty English Language Institute King Abdulaziz University Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Abstract Through globalization, people, their life routines, ideas and social events move across borders to a larger degree than in the past. Both, the concept and the practices associated with globalization can be considered to be beneficial or threatening, to people, societies, and governments. As communication among globalists is being taking place, there has to be a language that facilitates the discourse and interaction for any globalization process. For a number of historic reasons, English has emerged as the language of globalization as well as a global language that is spoken by millions of users around the world. However, the globalization of English has its pros and cons, and researchers, particularly in the Muslim world, have a different perspective of this issue. This paper tackles issues related to English as a global language in a particular EFL context in a Muslim context. Keywords: English, Saudi Arabia, globalization, cultural identity, English as a global language 1 Introduction: Globalization of nations is an inevitable outcome of recent technological developments and inventions that facilitate interaction at various levels - economic, political, technological, social, and cultural (Timothy, 2019). These interactions take place among countries, business firms, scholars, and individuals, and they require a common language of communication. English has been viewed by many as the language of globalization for its superiority over other languages used in international communication (Sharifian, 2016).

  • The Background to Language Change in Hong Kong
    The Background to Language Change in Hong Kong Godfrey Harrison and Lydia K.H. So Speech & Hearing Sciences, The University of Hong Kong, 5/F Prince Philip Dental Hospital, 34 Hospital Road, Hong Kong This paper gives the background to language change in Hong Kong. It surveys the great changes that have taken place over the last 50 years and it situates Hong Kong as the greatest of Cantonese cities. This approach makes apparent how fast and how much Hong Kong has changed and is changing demographically, economically, politically, socially and technologically. Because language and at least four of these five aspects are interwoven, the need to deal with language in Hong Kong has been inescapable even if its manifestations were often unpredictable. The paper also reminds the reader of the greater context, showing some of the complex exchange networks that bind the Cantonese language community and making clear Hong Kong’s central position in intra-Chinese relations. Introduction Hong Kong, a sliver of Asian mainland and a clutch of nearby islands, has an area of 1092 square kilometres (422 square miles): much smaller than Majorca or Rhode Island but notably bigger than Anglesey. Its population is 6.3 million people (cf. Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics , April 1996): a little fewer than Greater London’s, somewhat more than that of the San Francisco-Oakland metropolis’. Hong Kong, in the Pearl River delta, borders the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, set up in Guangdong Province, in the People’s Republic of China, and is just south of the tropic of Cancer on the western rim of the Pacific Ocean.

  • The Implications of Authenticity and Intensity in EFL Teaching
    Sino-US English Teaching, June 2016, Vol. 13, No. 6, 409-439 doi:10.17265/1539-8072/2016.06.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Implications of Authenticity and Intensity in EFL Teaching: A Study of the Intensive-Year Programme at the College of Telecom and Electronics (CTE), in Saudi Arabia Khaloufah Alshehri College of Telecom and Electronics, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia The current study endeavours to examine the extent to how authenticity, usage, and intensity of native English instruction impact EFL students behaviourally and linguistically at the preparatory year programme in CTE, where students undertake an intensive English course for one year. The programme is managed by an American company called Interlink and is entirely staffed by native English teachers. The implementation of this English instruction encompasses motivational, pedagogical, and administrative challenges that hinder its practicality for positive and achievable learning outcomes. To this end, this paper will attempt to address the sociolinguistic and historical profile of EFL in Saudi Arabia in order to present an overall picture of this study’s context. Keywords: EFL, AYP, intensive, authentic, pedagogy, linguistic, students’ needs Introduction English as a foreign language (EFL) in Saudi Arabia (SA) has undergone various dramatic modifications due to some variables that lead to transforming the educational landscape in the Kingdom. Among the most significant of these are ongoing economic development, strong presence of English in Education and media, participants’ attitudes and motivation. In addition, educational native English companies and the substantial number of Saudis studying in English countries can be seen as concomitant influences that affect EFL in the Saudi context.

  • The Centrality of the Language Question in the Decolonization of Education in Africa1
    The Centrality of the Language Question in the Decolonization of Education in Africa1 Kwesi Kwaa Prah Introduction In the last two years (2016-2017), the challenge of decolonizing education in Africa has found voice, expressed with a great deal of emotion, noise and fanfare by university students in South Africa. Noticeably, the initial fervour of the call appears to have considerably abated. What happens next? Early this year, 2017, during a visit to the University of Venda, one of the Deans remarked to me that; ‘we have been here before, in the 1990s,after the formal end of Apartheid, there had been calls in the university for changes which amounted to the same thing, as the calls for decolonization that are being made now.’ Nothing happened then. A decade and a half later, there is again danger of the current enthusiasm of the times petering out. A good part of the lack of application in addressing the issue is due to the fact that, although the idea of decolonizing education is immensely suggestive, understanding what this should mean and entail, beyond superficialities and resounding mantras, remains for many vague and analytically unclear. Oftentimes, there are sweeping, radical, but empty calls which equate almost everything which does not sound directly African as Eurocentric anathema. The decolonization of knowledge and education does not and should not mean a philistine rejection of Western-derived knowledge and argumentation. It suggests divesting the content of education of the inherited Western vestment. It signifies that we must construct knowledge which speaks to our cultural and linguistic distinctions.
