Beyond Diversity
The Past and the Future of English StudiesThis book offers a collection of papers that, taken jointly, show the academic potential of English Studies ‘ its most contemporary lines of investigation seen against the area’s traditional concerns. The chapters illustrate a cross section of research in English literature, linguistics, language teaching and translation studies ‘ disciplines traditionally pursued at Departments of English. They also show an expansion of the core philological lines of research into other areas of knowledge, such as semiotics or comparative and cognitive studies. The book thus makes a strong case that the philological ethos, reflected in the Polish translation of ‘English Studies’ as filologia angielska, still constitutes a valuable academic formula.
