Can the Subaltern Speak Debate

[alexandra vronsky]

Dear All,

I am working on my diss. project that deals with a
question about queer Arab women and cyberspace - the
ways in which their cybercommunities trouble
heteronormativity (in one sentence), and one of my
chapters will deal with the question of the voice.

For this chapter I will particularly look at the way
in which Spivak theorizes Voice - and this is where I
"invite" ya'll to join me in my quest ;)

I would greatly appreciate any leads and names of
either the authors, or journals, or books that take up
Spivak's study "Can the Subaltern Speak." Perhaps
there is a special volume of a journal that examines
this debate? Leads about any conversations that this
study has generated and that picks up this question
would be greatly appreciated.

I have also set up a working bibliography (as
suggested in one of our earlier posts) so feel free to
add things to it at your convenience.

Thank you in advance :)

Naida Zukic

I assume you know about the Benita Parry critique of the Spivak article and
their are several anthologies that contain references to both.

CULTURAL STUDIES 17(1) 2003, 42–55
has several articles (I like the one by Sangeeta Ray - esp because I
recently used Shashwati Talukdar's "My Life as a Poster" in my research
methods class and Ray's article was very useful in my making the necessary
point to the students)


I suggest you try asking on the postcolonial listserv (if you need me to
sign you on I can do so- let me know off-list) - you will definitely
recieve a ton of replies concerning this.

Signs - winter 2002 - has some stuff that might be useful too - esp A
Conversation with Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak: Politics and the Imagination
Jenny Sharpe and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak Page 609 [
http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/resolve?SIGNS280208 ]

btw - if you are working related to queer Arab women - Gayathri Gopinath's
work on Queer South Asians might be useful to look at as well.

I'll contact you off list with further suggestions of course.

Hi

I'll be posting more frequently as I formulate my dissertation idea more
carefully, but for now, I am working on a Cultural Studies seminar paper
that discusses the successes and failures of Howard Dean's Internet
Campaign and his grassroots supporters/Online Political Citizens. I'm
using Hebdige's "subculture" idea as well as Habermas's "public sphere"
and wanted to know if anyone could recommend academic journals that
might be interested in such work. I've checked out some but I'm seeing
titles there that are either too pop culture or too literary and not at
all political.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Radhika,
A while back you sent me an invitation to your typepad weblog. I try to get
to it, but keep getting an error message. Can you resend it to me?

Btw, how are you? It's been really crazy for me...in the spring, David and
I had our wedding reception, then I left for Hawaii for five weeks for an
NEH thing (very cool..."Religion and Politics in India: History, Culture,
and the Contemporary Experience")...to return to school starting.
Crazy...where does the time go?

Priya

[Kuswa, Kevin]

good conversation on this. I might suggest getting into what constitutes
"voice." Especially in cyberspace, "speaking for others" may also include
thinking, acting, listening for others. Many folks have mapped the
preposition "for"--"for others" vs. "as", "with", "to", "through," etc.

Another angle would re-think the "sovereignty of the voice" (Judith Butler,
Excitable Speech--the section on interpellation).

Good luck and keep us posted.
