This symposium will explore the trajectory of university English as experienced by the generation that came of age around 1968. It’s an eventful history that includes, among much else: the 'theory moment'; professionalisation; the emergence of so-called identity politics; and the arrival of managerialism in the university. The symposium asks: What is the relation between that history and 1968? What intellectual commitments and affective dispositions did it afford? What structures and interests drove it? What were its triumphs and failures? Does it have a future? Leave a legacy?
