This essay explores the rise of global anglophone as a methodological rubric, and the place of English in global literary studies. My exposition pivots around a set of interwoven claims. While contemporary globalization has led to increasing linguistic homogenization, the rise of global anglophone does not herald the end of postcolonialism nor is it a force bent on erasing the cultural and linguistic diversity of literatures of the world. Rather, its valence can be generatively explored in the context of recent debates about the provenance of comparative and world literatures, and the emergence of multilingual transregional literary enclaves that are smaller than the globe and larger than a nation. Wariness about the moral economy of the angloglobalism can often be in tension with contemporary processes of anglophone transculturation. Further, the rise of global anglophone is inseparable from current debates in translation studies and the emergence of English as a global vernacular and a target language. Lastly, the global dominance of English appears less threatening when visualized through a comparative historical lens that illuminates the role of other world languages. As scholarship on premodern and early modern cultures indicates, linguistic cosmopolitanism and vernacular expressivity have not typically existed as antinomian forces in literary history.

This essay explores interactions between five people – Inuit, Scottish, and American – in Nunavut and Aberdeen, Scotland, between the late 1830s and the 1860s. The fact that these people all knew each other, or of each other, provides an opportunity to investigate a rich network of communication between them over a twenty-year period. The main primary sources investigated include the first biography of a young Inuk, written by a Scottish doctor; an American explorer’s tale of his Life with the Esquimaux; and the personal journal of a Scottish whaling captain’s wife. The investigation focuses on five subjects which occur persistently across these works: blood, mapping, tea, maktaaq and other country food, and the act of leave-taking. The topics form nodes, sometimes of incommensurability between Inuit and Qallunaat (an Inuktitut word designating non-Inuit, usually white, people) but they can also become areas through which misunderstanding and separation give way to understanding and close bonds. The fact that in these sources Inuit voices are ventriloquized by white Scottish and American writers greatly increases the risk that Inuit historical voices could be misrepresented and misheard. As a non-Inuit scholar, I am acutely aware that I may mishear or misunderstand these voices myself. In my analyses of the source material, I can bring the close attention of a scholar of nineteenth-century literature to attend to tone, ambiguity, the historical period, genre, and also to the occlusions and confusion in the writing that may obscure (often unconsciously) the redaction of veritable, if not entirely verifiable, Inuit voices from the nineteenth century. But I may be wrong, and this uncertainty is fundamental to my methodology. The expectation of scholarly writing in the academy is that it will be presented in an authoritative voice, but my methodology while listening for historical Inuit voices in the chosen sources must entail uncertainty. Research in the following essay is an open letter to other scholars, and especially to indigenous scholars and readers, who may agree or disagree with what I hear and interpret of Inuit voices in some lesser-known works of the mid-nineteenth-century historical record.

While providing an overview of the essays that make up this special issue, this “Introduction” considers the relationship between the field designators “postcolonial” and “global anglophone”. Although the global anglophone has emerged as a result of the institutional commodification of diversity, this essay looks at ways in which it might be repurposed as a framework to think with, a framework within which new collaborations between various fields can be instigated and sustained. The essay’s main purpose is to offer ways by which to push past various organizational rubrics that prevent us from grasping the less obvious but nevertheless consequential transformations that are restructuring English departments in the USA and beyond.

The essay investigates a selection of Danish visual artist Emilie Demant Hatt’s art and writings and traces her fascination with the Indigenous world view that she encountered during her stay with Sámi reindeer herders in Sápmi in the early twentieth century. As a woman and amateur anthropologist with North Sámi language skills who lived with Sámi transhumant families over a longer period and moreover developed a close collaboration with the Sámi artist Johan Turi, Demant Hatt had nuanced and varied insights into daily life and was inspired by Sámi aesthetics and ontologies. These inspirations, which were outside the mainstream monologue of the colonial adventurer, opened up space for dialogue in the Arctic contact zone. Coupling Demant Hatt’s work to contemporary artistic practices and gendered experience and combining interpretations of her texts and artworks with some historical contextualization, the essay examines how the Sámi use of context-bound metaphors and figurative speech, duodji aesthetics, and a relational ontology (described as “animism”) sharpened Emilie Demant Hatt’s awareness of the significance of context, interconnectedness, and embeddedness in both her visual and textual production. It reveals also how Demant Hatt in her representations of Sámi ways of life performs a delicate but dangerous balancing act between valorizing a different culture, replicating colonial fantasies, and struggling with her own experiences of gendered oppression in modern society.

This article analyses the portrait of the young Inughuit hunter Qalaherriaq, who was brought involuntarily to England from his home in Perlernerit (Cape York) in today's Kalaallit Nunaat (also known as Greenland) with Captain Erasmus Ommanney’s expedition vessel in 1851. The portrait’s highly unconventional representation, wherein the sitter is shown both en face and in profile, betrays an interest in nineteenth-century racial science and civilizing ideologies. Despite this problematic colonialist content, the double portrait serves as a record for the existence and experience of Qalaherriaq and the participation of Inuit individuals in European expeditions to the Arctic. As this article argues, the portrait is also a visual testimony to Qalaherriaq’s agency, adaptability, and deliberate performance in a social environment characterized by ethnocentrism and racism. Bringing in the trail of Inughuit and European sources that this portrait connects to, this article traces the nature and terms of Qalaherriaq’s stay in British society. As a decolonizing strategy, we use the method of concurrences to avoid universalizing perspectives on the past. Examining moments of competing truth claims in the European and Arctic sources about or relating to Qalaherriaq, we point to the competing perspectives on the Arctic, exploration, and British imperialism contained in this material.
