Abstract:

This book examines how a colonial matrix of power is established
through temporality in English writing education. It offers discourse
analyses of higher educational policies that operate in China and
Saudi Arabia and then triangulates this data with conversations with
writing teachers from representative Chinese and Saudi universities.
Drawing on all this data to understand both the structured power
relations shaping educational policies and the attendant effects on
the writing teachers that inhabit these spaces, the book develops a
decolonial comparative method and adopts the concept of “temporal
regime” as an analytic lens. It not only attends to the complex and
multilayered ways that this regime controls, disciplines and shapes
the social wellbeing and professional practices of individual writing
teachers, but it also details the various ways that teachers
understand, experience, resist, negotiate and appropriate the temporal
orders.
