AISCLI is a cultural association whose purpose is to promote interest in cultural studies dealing with the English-speaking post-colonial world. Its aim is to play a critical and informative role locally, nationally and internationally and encourage the valorisation of and research on Anglophone literatures and cultures.

- encouraging communication between authors, critics, intellectuals, artists and scholars;
- activating and maintaining a network for the association members in order to be able to communicate on scientific, didactic, cultural and organizational matters, through the website and digital media;
- promoting publications such as critical studies, critical editions and translations of texts within the national and international context;
- fostering the educational impact of cultural studies and the literatures in English on undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate courses;
- creating connections with high-schools through lessons, seminars and summer schools;
