Master of Arts in Intercultural Anglophone Studies

About

MAIAS is an innovative postgraduate MA programme for research in American, British, and Anglophone Studies, offered at the precise geographical centre of Europe. Directed toward advanced scholarly competence, the programme focuses on the theoretically and methodologically informed study of the literatures and cultures of the English-speaking world as well as the exploration of linguistic phenomena of English in its varieties. The programme addresses a wide range of forms of cultural expression such as literature, film, theatre, music, and other forms of popular culture. It focuses on core issues and concepts such as interculturality, transculturation, globalism, transnationalism, postcolonialism, diaspora, and cosmopolitanism. Moreover, students will be introduced to the scope, interconnections, and possible future specialisations in the fields of American, British, and/or other Anglophone literary and cultural studies and in the field of English linguistics. The range of seminars offered will help students develop thesis topics, beginning the process that will lead each student to the completion of an independent and comprehensive thesis.
