Stock’s Travelogue}, volume={16}, url={https://banglajol.info/index.php/Spectrum/article/view/61063}, DOI={10.3329/spectrum.v16i100.61063}, abstractNote={<p><em>Memoirs of Dacca University </em>is the record of a British teacher’s experience of being Head of the English Department at the transitional time of 1947 to 1951. The traveller’s focus on Dhaka University makes it a valuable historic document of the institution in her depiction of the challenges of English language teaching in a former colony. The aim of this article is to analyze A. G. Stock’s memoir as an example of post-imperial travelogue and to examine the traveller’s attempts to overcome colonial representations in her treatment of Dhaka University and the people she encounters. I show how Stock’s text differs from colonial travel writing and embraces a more empathetic and liberal view in her analysis and description of the university and East Pakistan. At the same time, following Holland and Huggan (2000), I also interrogate and trace the lingering residues of a colonial discourse in this travel narrative.</p> <p><em>Spectrum</em>, Volume 16, June 2021: 24-39</p>}, number={100}, journal={Spectrum}, author={Alam, Zerin}, year={2022}, month={Nov.}, pages={24–39} }
