28. Introduction Page An overview article that includes a discussion of important authors in the field. http://www.english.emory.edu/Bahri/Intro.html

Introduction to Postcolonial Studies T he field of Postcolonial Studies has been gaining prominence since the 1970s. Some would date its rise in the Western academy from the publication of Edward Said's influential critique of Western constructions of the Orient in his 1978 book, Orientalism . The growing currency within the academy of the term "postcolonial" (sometimes hyphenated) was consolidated by the appearance in 1989 of The Empire Writes Back: Theory and Practice in Post-Colonial Literatures by Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths, and Helen Tiffin. Since then, the use of cognate terms "Commonwealth" and "Third World" that were used to describe the literature of Europe's former colonies has become rarer. Although there is considerable debate over the precise parameters of the field and the definition of the term "postcolonial," in a very general sense, it is the study of the interactions between European nations and the societies they colonized in the modern period. The European empire is said to have held sway over more than 85% of the rest of the globe by the time of the First World War, having consolidated its control over several centuries. The sheer extent and duration of the European empire and its disintegration after the Second World War have led to widespread interest in postcolonial literature and criticism in our own times. T he list of former colonies of European powers is a long one. They are divided into settler (eg. Australia, Canada) and non-settler countries (India, Jamaica, Nigeria, Senegal, Sri Lanka). Countries such as South Africa and

Area Studies in the Age of Globalization David Ludden University of Pennsylvania notes are endnotes The production of area-specific knowledge about the world has no firm theoretical foundation. It seems to be an intellectual by-product of modern state territorialism and of those state-supported institutions of area studies which became prominent during the heyday of the nation state, in the decades between 1945 and 1990. Area studies in the university find their official justification in itself because they effectively serve disciplines, professions, business and national interests. The rationale for area studies for itself Academic Institutions in the American World Discussions at the Social Science Research Council about the need to reorganize area studies began several years before I joined the Joint Committee on South Asia of the SSRC and American Council of Learned Societies, in 1991. The immediate ground for debate was financial, but very soon, accounts of the state of the world entered debates about academic investment priorities, disciplines, and area studies. Since then, many analysts have used claims about contemporary world history to support contending positions in the funding wars that rage in academic institutions. In the nineties, Mellon, MacArthur, and Ford foundations have funded formal discussions of the future of area studies in higher education, graduate training, and academic research; and budget cutting by the Congress has triggered intellectual efforts to protect government funding for international programs, specifically Title VI of the Education Act, which supports National Resource Centers and Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships for graduate students. As arguments raged at the SSRC, I became a Title VI center director at Penn, an assistant script-writer for Title VI lobbyists on Capitol Hill, and a member of the Fulbright Senior Scholars advisory board, as the Fulbright Program faced budget cuts at the US Information Agency and a fifty-year evaluation of its education and training programs.

Canada talks lecture series: Film Studies time and date: Monday 18 October 2010 16.15 Location: Classroom 9, Eleanor Building “Canada talks” is a multidisciplinary lecture series organized by the Roosevelt Academy in partnership with the Association for Canadian Studies in the Netherlands (ACSN). Dr. Russell Kilbourn , Associate Professor, Film Studies at Wilfred Laurier University (Ontario, Canada) will speak on “History, Memory and Indigenous HD”: Ironic Self-Reflexivity and the Auto-Ethnographic Gaze in the Journals of Knud Rasmussen" All are welcome. ACSN Presidency by Conny Steenman-Marcusse When I accepted the ACSN presidency in September 2003 I was going to commit myself for three years. Another four years were added as no successors presented themselves. I will continue to do part of the work in my function as Past President but I am delighted to let you know that my colleague Dr. Cornelius Remie will be Acting President as from now on. For many ACSN members he does not need much introduction as he was one of the co-founders of ACSN in 1985. He has certainly built up a lot of expertise in the field of Canada Studies. Cor founded and presided the European Network for Canadian Studies for fifteen years and just finished his term as president of the International Council for Canadian Studies. ACSN, the European Network for Canadian Studies and the International Council for CS have played an important part in my life. During my presidency I was honoured to be part of the 60th and 65th anniversaries of the end of World War II with subsequent book publications Building Liberty: Canada and World Peace, 1945-2005, co-edited with Aritha van Herk, and Tulips and Maple Leaves in 2010, Perspectives on 65 years of Dutch/Canadian Relations, co-edited with Christl Verduyn. Moreover I can look back upon many successful conferences and seminars throughout the country, whether it was Groningen, Nijmegen, Utrecht or Middelburg. Together with Dutch Foreign Affairs in the Hague ACSN plans a book launch of Tulips and Maple Leaves in 2010 at the end of September or the beginning of October. Please consult the ACSN website in the next two months for more information.
