  • What is Radical

    Alexander Alberro, Alexander Mendiburu et al.ARTICLEARTMargins2021

    What does it mean to think and act radically, and how does this relate to forms of radicalism connected to earlier moments, for example, in the 20th century? What can be the role of radical art and scholarship under the conditions of late capitalism? More generally, how can art and artists serve the ongoing struggle for social justice and the agendas of emancipatory social change? Finally, what kinds of art criticism and art historical scholarshi…

  • ‘Race’ Time and the Revision of Modernity

    Homi K Bhabha, Homi Κ BhabhaCHAPTERTheories of Race and Racism2020

    This chapter explores only one scene in its remarkable staging, Fanon's phenomenological performance of what it means to be not only a nigger but a member of the marginalized, the displaced, the diasporic. Fanon uses the fact of blackness, of belatedness, to destroy the binary structure of power and identity.' The 'value' of modernity is not located, a priori, in the passive fact of an epochal event or idea – of progress, civility, the law – but …

  • Cosmopolitanism: Reflections at the Commemoration of Ulrich Beck, 30 October 2015

    Open AccessHomi K Bhabha, Homi Κ BhabhaARTICLETheory Culture & Society2018Cited by: 2References: 2

    This is a tribute to Ulrich Beck and a rumination on his legacy in work on cosmopolitanism, translation, anxiety, and memory. Historical transitions and symbolic transmissions open up urgent questions about the connection between the structure of collective memory and the system of cosmopolitical thought. Public memory is embedded in an affective matrix of anxiety which is capable of creating the conciliatory conditions of political virtue and of…

  • Nation & Narration

    Homi K Bhabha, Homi Κ BhabhaBOOKNation and Narration2013

    Bhabha, in his preface, writes 'Nations, like narratives, lose their origins in the myths of time and only fully encounter their horizons in the mind's eye'. From this seemingly impossibly metaphorical beginning, this volume confronts the realities of the concept of nationhood as it is lived and the profound ambivalence of language as it is written. From Gillian Beer's reading of Virginia Woolf, Rachel Bowlby's cultural history of Uncle Tom's Cab…

    Homi Bhabha, Homi Κ BhabhaARTICLEFrench Politics Culture & Society2010

    At one hundred, we are told, a book becomes a classic; at one hundred Simone de Beauvoir has surely become a legend. And yet, like all legends, she remains something of an enigma, yet to be discovered. To be discovered, perhaps, in a way similar to her own attempt at self-discovery in Hard Times (the second volume of The Force of Circumstance), which results in a moving encounter with symptoms, repressions, and defenses that reveal those darker u…

    Homi K Bhabha, Homi Κ Bhabha et al.ARTICLEMultitudes2006Cited by: 16

    Au nom de l'hybridité et de la « différence culturelle », qu'il oppose à la « diversité culturelle », l'auteur avance une critique du « libéralisme relativiste » au fondement des politiques « multiculturalistes » mises en place en Grande-Bretagne, critique qui montre en quoi ces politiques ont partie liée avec un certain universalisme ethnocentré
