Week of Postcolonial and Ethnic Literature
Despite the fact that the tradition of both postcolonial and ethnic literature is deeply rooted in the Western literary milieu and the fiction produced by these writers is immensely popular not only with the readers but with the critics as well, their concept still represents an unknown terrain for a Slovak reader. This might be a result of a more than 40 year-long lasting isolation of Slovakia from the Western world which was caused by the political situation in the country in those days. Therefore, it is the ambition of the Department of English and American Studies to close this gap and provide an opportunity for our students to move beyond the borders of Slovakia via literature and get familiar with new cultural horizons.
Drama Performance - True Colours
As a part of the event, we announce two competitions for our students:
1. to test their translation skills (by selecting one of the extracts from postcolonial novels and translating it into Slovak) OR
translation contest - texts
2. to write a short essay on one of the following topics:
