Besides these goals, which the statutes of our association stipulate, we hope to contribute to the following:
- Promote the interdisciplinarity of English Studies in a period of major geo-political and disciplinary change;
- Affirm the Anglo-American paradigm as the theoretical and critical “locus” that inspires the association;
- Confirm, despite this, the interlinguistic and intercultural study of Anglophone language, literature and culture in an era of globalisation, as well as the multiple contexts in which this takes place.
The Portuguese Association for Anglo-American Studies (APEAA) was created in 1979 and has enjoyed a steady activity, with annual meetings and a regular circulation of information among its members, ever since. Besides, the APEAA journal,
Op. Cit., our journal, welcomes contributions in all domains of Anglo-American Studies.
