Contact and Conflict in English Studies by Sabine Coelsch-Foisner
The book presents contributions to the 2012 conference of the Austrian Association of University Teachers of English in which scholars of various fields of English Studies discuss aspects of contact and conflict in Anglophone literatures, critical theory, cultural studies, interdisciplinary and comparative English studies and English linguistics. The papers reflect current research in these areas and show that disciplinary classifications are no longer as rigid as they used to be: Topics are as widely spread as linguistic variation, Māori English, English as a lingua franca, intergenerational conflict, hip hop discourse, literature and the creative arts, science drama, childhood in crime fiction, and the crisis of «high art».
Sabine Coelsch-Foisner is Professor of English Literature and Cultural Theory at the University of Salzburg. In her research she focuses in particular on literature and the creative arts, aesthetics, cross-arts, genre- and cultural dynamics as well as cultural infrastructures.
Herbert Schendl is retired Professor of English linguistics at the University of Vienna. His recent research has focused on historical multilingualism, language contact and code-switching.
