Giulia Champion, 'The Empire Bites Back: Literary Cannibalism in African, Caribbean and South American Postcolonial Rewritings of the 'Western Literary Canon'

This paper focuses, on the one hand, on questioning the notion of canonicity and how literature is taught in higher education, and on the other hand, how rewriting these 'classics' through the creative process of literary cannibalism aims to construct a proper identity for former colonies and insert it into the intellectual and cultural sphere.

Giulia is an alumna of Global Shakespeare, and is currently undertaking a PhD at ÌÇÐÄTV.
