Abstract

Briefly surveying some of the reasons for current rhetorics of crisis within English studies, the article explores some of the problematic historical commitments of this disciplinary area. Considered as a discursive formation constituting its objects of knowledge in a print-centric manner while defining its subject of knowing in individualist/nationalist terms, the author argues that a move from an English to a Cultural Studies perspective is overdue within schooling. Several features of the latter approach are described.
