4 weeks ago
Qualification Type: PhD
Location: London
Funding for: UK Students, EU Students, International Students
Funding amount: £19,237 stipend per annum
Hours: Full time
Closes: 20 October :59 UK time)
King's College London invites applications for one funded, three-year, full time PhD in the Department of English, in association with the UKRI-funded project Decolonization, Appropriation and the Materials of Literature in Africa and its Diaspora (LITAID).
It is envisaged that the student will commence on 1 February 2025. The studentship will cover full programme tuition fees at either home or international rate. There is also an annual stipend set at £19,237 (the standard UKRI rate).
The PhD project associated with this studentship will focus on Ghanaian literary production during the period of formal decolonization (c It will examine a range of authors and institutions, and explore how far the literary practices of the period were shaped by transcultural and multilingual interactions and appropriations. It will be informed by methods of literary sociology, book history, and comparative literature, and will require extensive research in archives and the ability to work with texts in several languages.
LITAID: Decolonization, Appropriation and the Materials of Literature in Africa and its Diaspora project
LITAID addresses questions about the materials of literature and how these are appropriated from one literary culture to another. It does this by focusing on literary decolonization in Africa and its diaspora, and by looking especially at the literary field in Ghana, considering its transnational dimensions from the perspective of local artists and institutions as well as a range of literary travellers who came seeking decolonial resources for their own communities.
Adopting an innovative approach combining methodologies of world literature, literary sociology, book history, poetics and narratology, the history of education, and digital humanities, LITAID examines Ghanaian print culture; the role of schools and universities in literary decolonization; the transnational dimensions of Ghanaian literary culture; relations between Ghanaian, South African, Caribbean and African American literary cultures; and the careers of several major authors.
The Department of English at King's College London
The PhD student will be registered at King's College London. They will be supervised by Dr Jarad Zimbler, with second supervision provided by another member of staff at King's as appropriate.
