I should probably elaborate from my previous comment; I *like* this talk, and use Bhabha thoroughly in my own research. Put in context with these other comments, it looks like I'm just trying (and failing) to make fun of him like everyone else. It is really quite difficult for anyone today to talk about nations, culture, and stereotype without referring to him.
All the meanwhile, my question remains: who is this other faculty member who shares the "honor" of Bhabha's incoherence? 6:58 :)
I cannot believe the idiocy of some of these comments. Bhabha is a brilliant thinker and speaker and his discussion of writers and artists, from Benjamin to Eliot, is enormously illuminating. He speaks eloquently of the key issue of today - of how, when barbarism will emerge from within our societies, we may survive.
I'm sorry to tell you that you didn't and you can't understand Homi Bhabha well till you a good educational background in philosophy and Cross-Cultural Studies, Postcolonial Studies, so then you might understand exactly his profound contribution in the these fields. Now he is considered to be the most important figures in contemporary post-colonial studies on which all new writings are based on his thoughts. So layman will not understand him
What are you guys rambling on about? if you don't like him, or don't understand him, don't use him in your work. but if you can understand him, he is an excellent resource for academic work and highly respected as well.
He's really not that hard to understand is he? what he's talking about? well, I've always liked his work, and its always fit in well with my research so...

6:58 : Bhabha says he shares his "honor" of incoherence with another faculty member at UC Berkeley. Who is this? :)

I said to myself I'd give him 20 minutes. I managed 15. Those who are clever must also be coherent.

He's simply incapable of putting together a meaningful sentence.

Bhabha doesn't have a brain. His skull is packed full of nonsense-jelly

When Homi Bhabha quite unwitting-
ly devised a discourse of splitting,
he revised his previous claim
that everything is one and the same

Bhabha is representative of everything that's wrong in modern-day academia.
His prose is incomprehensibly awful.
Full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
A nonsense merchant, selling gibberish by the yard. And the Americans buy this stuff! Fools
