The participating groups focus their current research on the 21st century, a period that requires a new perspective on literature written in the English language, once the literatures from the different Anglophone geographies and transnational writing in English were consolidated in the last decades of the 20th century. The increasing theoretical transdisciplinarity that is relevant to the literary field requires a very complex analysis and is in constant movement, particularly since the geographic and social scope from where international theoretical voices come has expanded. The research groups that are part of this network are fully focused on this contemporaneity and its ethical and social implications. The projects led by the researchers who are part of the team deal with literature in a constitutive relationship with reality and with the corresponding society, and meditate on the globalized world of the 21st century and the role of culture and literary productions as acts of resistance or reiteration of the dominant discourse.
