Riassunto

Among the foremost feminist critics to have emerged to international eminence over the last fifteen years, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak has relentlessly challenged the high ground of established theoretical discourse in literary and cultural studies. Although her rigorous reading of various authors has often rendered her work difficult terrain for those unfamiliar with poststructuralism, this collection makes significant strides in explicating Spivak's complicated theories of reading.

Product Description:

Among the foremost feminist critics to have emerged over the last fifteen years, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak has relentlessly challenged established approaches in literary and cultural studies. Spanning a decade of Spivak's writing, The Spivak Reader brings together some of the author's most salient readings of trends in Marxism, feminism and poststructuralism. Provocatively engaging with such figures as Derrida and Foucault, Spivak's writing provides a spirited analysis of disputes within the field of critical theory, encompassing issues such as: * postcolonialism * textuality * commodity fetishism * sexual difference * the relevance of philosophy to literature.
