  • ‘Words have a charge’: Six moments from a dialogue

    Open AccessHomi K Bhabha, Homi Κ Bhabha et al.ARTICLEJournal of Visual Culture2022

As part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of the journal’s founding, it was essential to include voices whose work, presence within the world, and poetic insights traverse the entirety of visual culture studies.

  • ‘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…

    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

  • On Writing Rights

    Homi K Bhabha, Homi Κ BhabhaCHAPTERGlobalizing rights2003

    Wherever you live, whoever you may be, once the lights dim in a movie theatre, or the screen lights up on your TV or PC, you become, more or less, a part of the global world. Many of the keywords of twenty-first-century political and cultural life embrace such a worldwide perspective: the global market as the touchstone of ‘free enterprise’; democratic capitalism, as the watchword of the crusade against alternative, socialist systems; or, more re…
