ha! that "can the subaltern speak" is not influential on subaltern studies...that's modest! it is the often the most contact a North American graduate student will make with subaltern studies (unless they choose to poke around a little more) in most Humanities fields!

[sal nas]

where can i find the transcript for this?

[Skylishque]

let me guess-- dwawad manwad's now ex-girlfriend fell in love with Spivak? Indian academics were debating issues related to language and grammar way before WIggtenstein, et al. (circa 3,500 B.C). anyhow, if someone calls you a 'bitch' or dyke you're doing something right!

LOL--- "post-colonialism" they make it seem like just a code word for non-white. Surely, the American students (99% saxon at the revolution) feel totally "alienated" by the issues of the other ethnic populations, who are their "teachers" (but who are teaching only about their own colonizations that they are doing, by being the speakers FOR those foreign students, lol). It's hard to say if it's just dishonest, or hopelessly myopic and people are really that unsophisticated, or what, lol

[westchesterny]

Could be worse. You could be an American student, forced to listen to this blather, to get a grade. Most of her students move on, after all, not nearly as convinced of "brilliance" as are the academics who stay around the campuses, usually drinking and shagging their young students, lol.
