Trois textes de femmes et une critique de l'impérialisme (nouvelle version révisée)
Je vais m’attacher dans ce texte aux vicissitudes de la figure de l’informateur indigène dans la représentation littéraire. J’utilise ici une opposition binaire passablement ancienne entre philosophie et littérature – où la première est censée concaténer les arguments et la seconde figurer l’impossible.

In other worlds

In this volume a distinguished group of scholars assesses nearly every aspect of Said’s work—his contributions to postcolonial theory, his work on racism and ethnicity, h…

The aim of the studies is to 'promote a systematic and informed discussion of subaltern themes in the field of South Asian studies, and thus help to rectify the elitist bias characteristic of much research and academic work in this particular area. The contributors...focus attention on what Gramsci called the subaltern classes and their condition, …
