The idea of cultural studies in Brazil-- redefining frontiers
Year: 1998
Type: article
Abstract: British and North American Culture and Institutions courses have been taught in Brazil since tlie early 1980s.They are designed to give support to English Language and Literature courses, providing students with some degree of cultural awareness which is an important element for the language and literature pedagogy.The present paper offers some reflections on how we have been trying to improve these courses; it aims at sharing some experiences we have been accumulating in the área of British and American Studies.In opposition to the theoretical aridities that have been bombarding this relatively pioneering field, the main concern in this work is to explore practical, didactic problems as well as some political implications of worJcing in this interdisciplinary and ideologically charged practice.We hope that we can develop future cooperative projects and widen the debate around this área.
