This course investigates the use of the English language in Pacific literature, using mainly Oceanic texts for exemplification. Under consideration are short stories, essays, novels, plays, poems, lyrics, film and other popular genres. Issues of culture and identity are discussed, with reference to the problematic nature of English as a literary lingua franca or ‘common tongue’ for the region. Is it empowering or colonising, unifying or divisive – or both?
