Emancipation Spivak Brocker I 711
Emancipation/Postcolonialism/Spivak: Spivak warns against a nostalgic representation of the subalterns as resistance subjects with clear intentions. It doesn't make sense to her "to romanticize individual heroes on the side of oppression." (1) See History/Spivak, Classes/Gramsci.
Brocker I 721
Spivak thesis: the subaltern resistance has always been tortured by the hegemonic systems of political representation (see Representation/Spivak). In this respect, the statement means that the subalterns cannot speak, even if they try, they are not heard.(2) This in no way means that the subaltern woman has no political power whatsoever. It is not about the speechlessness of the subalterns, but about the hegemonic structure of hearing. VsSpivak: with her text she again stabilizes the stereotype of the silent and passive non-western subject.(3)(4)
