about Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak
|
Во
изминативе три децении, делото
на Спивак доби не само
афирмација и признание во
Америка туку и низ целиот свет.
Нејзините интервенции и
интерпретации на Фројд, Лакан,
Маркс, Дерида и Фуко послужија во
трансформацијата и
политизацијата на рецепцијата
на феминистичката и
постструктуралистичката
критика на психоанализата и
марксизмот. Нејзината мисла
продолжува да влијае во развојот
на мултикултурните,
постколонијалните,
феминистичките студии, не само
во САД туку и во целиот свет. |
