Abstract

The article aims at dicussing the concept of aesthetics and its relevance for the teaching of literatures in English at a time when the subject English Studies has been reformulated as Literatures in English in order to encompass literary narratives not only from canonical traditions such as the British or the American, but also from those countries that were once English colonies and today have their own national literary traditions in English. In this context, the concept of aesthetics will be considered in counterpoint with the concept of difference, both literary and cultural.
