Resumen de Perspectives on postcolonial studies: [mesa redonda]
Dolors Collellmir, Isabel Alonso Breto, Catalina Ribas Segura
Each of the panellists on this round table will be looking at the present state of Postcolonial Studies from their own perspective as teachers and researchers. One point to be examined is the extent to which Postcolonial Studies could be absorbed into Cultural Studies under the new plan for university degrees in English. Another point to be discussed is the need for Postcolonial Studies to become interdisciplinary and to what degree such horizontal interfaculty/departmental work can be achieved within the existing system and the new syllabus still to be implemented. The PhD candidate on the panel will give an overview of Postcolonial Studies as practised in the overseas institutions where she has studied which will also help to underscore elements which may be incorporated into our own work in the field.
