In Other Worlds: Essays in Cultural Politics
The book is a collection of essays by cultural theorist Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak written in the years 1977–1987, and gathers some of her most important work of this decade.rnrnFrom the flap text:rn“In her long-awaited book on cultural theory, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak analyzes the relationship between language, women, and culture in both Western and non-Western contexts. Spivak develops an original integration of powerful contemporary methodologies – deconstruction, Marxism, and feminism – turning this new model on major debates in the study of literature and culture. “In Other Worlds” considers questions of theory across a broad spectrum (what, for example, does “pluralism” mean?) while also engaging in ongoing debates with the leading figures of contemporary criticism: political philosophers such as Habermas and Althusser, psychoanalysts such as Julia Kristeva, legal theorists such as Ronald Dworkin, literary and social critics including Edward Said, Wayne Booth, Donald Davie, Hélène Cixous, and Jean-Joseph Goux. Spivak’s work also explores the literary text: Dante, Yeats, Wordsworth and Coleridge, Virginia Woolf, Margaret Drabble and the Indian writer Mahasweta Devi.rnrnFrom the foreword by Colin Mac Cabe:rn“One of the great virtues of these essays is the commitment to teaching and education that runs through them. Spivak is rare in combining an understanding of many of the most crucial problems facing the globe and the species with an interest in considering the detailed questions of specific educational situations.”
