演讲人：艾勒克•博埃默 教授（牛津大学世界英语文学教授）

主持人：黄强 博士（北京外国语大学英美文学研究中心副主任）

讲座介绍：

The lecture explores the ways in which postcolonial writing in English from various 21st-century contexts interacts with our imaginative understanding of the world. Throughout, the focus is on reading practices, where reading is taken as an inventive, border-traversing activity, one that postcolonial writing with its interests in margins, intersections, subversions, and crossings specifically encourages. Elleke Boehmer holds that literature has the capacity to keep reimagining and refreshing how we understand ourselves in relation to the world and to some of the most pressing questions of our time, including resistance, reconciliation, survival after terror, and migration.
