Director: PhDr. Soňa Nováková, CSc., M.A.
This special programme focuses on most of the key regions represented in the Commonwealth of Nations – Australia and the South Pacific, North America (Canada and the Caribbean), South Asia and Africa – in relation to Britain. The perspective is diachronic and synchronic, contemporary and historical, examining the consequences of imperial history in Britain and the post-colonial situation in former colonies. The fields currently studied in basic and elective courses include an introduction to the study of Canadian culture and multicultural writing, Scottish literature, Australian art and film. The offer is supplemented by a two-week intensive course on Indian literature in English.
The programme consists of 4 basic and 4 elective courses for single-subject students. In addition, 6 courses can be taken from other special programmes. Two-subject students have to take 2 basic and 3 elective courses plus 1 course from another special programme. Basic courses are offered each academic year (either in the winter or summer semester). The offer of elective and extension courses varies each academic year.
