Exploring the Periphery
Perspectives from Applied Linguistics, Language Teaching, Literary and Cultural Studies
herausgegeben von Stefanie Quakernack, Till Meister, Diana Fulger und Nathan DevosThis interdisciplinary collection of contributions aims at AV
exploring and challenging the concept of periphery from
various angles and in different fields of Applied Linguistics,
Language Teaching, Literary and Cultural Studies. As
the “writing back” paradigm of Postcolonial Studies illustrates,
the concept of periphery still implies the existence of
a center, which generates and sustains binary oppositions
and hierarchical structures. In times of global migration and
transnational mobility, the concept of periphery needs to be
renegotiated in order to make sense of the newly emergent
dichotomies in the linguistic, cultural and literary sphere
