Nunning, A. & J. Schlaeger, eds. English studies today: recent developments and new directions. Trier, 2009.
| Resumo: | This seminal collection of essays aims at overviewing the state of the art and mapping the prospects of English studies in Germany, as they have evolved from the traditional philological paradigm into a proliferation of approaches that reflect some distinctive features of postmodern scholarship. Nevertheless, the broad framework of dominant trends turns what might have been a national case study into a wide-range scrutiny of the status of English in the European context of Modern Humanities. Furthermore, the volume indirectly illuminates the mission and role of universities, now that educational patterns are challenged by a purely utilitarian rationale that subordinates scientific qualification to the demands of the job market. |
