- Homi Bhabha presented his lecture as part of the Townsend Center for the Humanities' Forum on the Humanities and the Public World. Bhabha is Anne F. Rothenberg Professor of English and American Literature and Language and Director of the Humanities Center at Harvard University. Considered one of the most important figures in postcolonial studies, Bhabha introduced the concepts of hybridity, mimicry, difference, and ambivalence to the field.

Excellent as most of his work. Nation and Narration & the Location of Culture, seminal.
his work and ways of seeing is genius
I love the performatively wise and profound, consistently entertaining.
Really? I haven't fully used his method. But in an analysis of an australian newspaper during the period 1947-50, on their view on India in the dawn of independence, I found Bhabha's theories to be highly useful. Especially "ambivalence" was useful, since the newspaper reproduced the idea of it's own class, and group (as a white homogenous society) about the "other", to it's own group. In this study Bhabha was useful, in relation to the White Australia Policy. His nonsense made loads of sense.

In 2008, and probably prior, H. Bhabha looks at the messianic Zeitgeist of 2014 n beyond: the Kalifat of ISIS!!! That is a sign of genius and vision!
through one's character one can predict one's intentions.
I just woke up in a new Bugatti
A very interesting and relative reflection upon “The Wasteland”. Mr. Bahba shortchanges Elliot though, by suggesting that Elliot’s tone recreates the illnesses of a painful “now” rather than challenge its happenstance.
What's the date of this lecture?
I cannot believe the idiocy of some of these comments. Bhabha is a brilliant thinker and speaker and his discussion of writers and artists, from Benjamin to Eliot, is enormously illuminating. He speaks eloquently of the key issue of today - of how, when barbarism will emerge from within our societies, we may survive.
He is a known intellectual of Post-Colonialism - those commenting are all alt-right empty accounts or hiding right wing pseudonymic Professors at Private Christian Colleges who know only that Bhaba is a famous critical theorist - few of them could make it through reading a text of his with any actual understanding, but, like their ilk everywhere, they are reacting nonetheless. There's even one guy commenting who was recently caught attacking a protester, a young girl, though he is a large dude, an owner of a cement co. Don't take the critics seriously, they must have been sent by 4chan and know not what they do.
An erudite speech indeed!!!
Homi's erudition is prodigious. What begins to pall on the reader or the listener is the concatenation of words he tends to spin out sadistically. The sewers of memory are 'dark and deep'. Is that an attempt to sex up sewage? Or is that a sadomasochistic smack at what he signalizes as the 'currency of creative communication' ?
If I intend to replace the term barbaric act by the new one, I will choose the 'Americanic' as a new one. That is bcz I didn't, nor anyone of our 7/8 ancestral chains of lineage, have seen barbaric time, but It is sure we have seen the Americanic time in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Somalia etc. So I will say that, the Iraqi literature now is transmitting and carrying the Melancholic and traumatic memories of Americanic time: the most brutal time of 2st century in World's history. (The Americanic transmission of Iraqi literature)
Maybe 'Victorian' would be fitting for that time
6:58 : Bhabha says he shares his "honor" of incoherence with another faculty member at UC Berkeley. Who is this? :)
Maybe Judith Butler? But it really could be anyone...
All of them are incoherent so hard to tell :)
I should probably elaborate from my previous comment; I *like* this talk, and use Bhabha thoroughly in my own research. Put in context with these other comments, it looks like I'm just trying (and failing) to make fun of him like everyone else. It is really quite difficult for anyone today to talk about nations, culture, and stereotype without referring to him.
All the meanwhile, my question remains: who is this other faculty member who shares the "honor" of Bhabha's incoherence? 6:58 :)
aky416 how do you use his work for research
Judith Butler, she's at UC Berkeley
Anybody who deals in theory refuses to face reality. Barbarism is a collective condemnation of society/societies by merely taking the actions of a few to condemn the whole. How ever you collectively view society you will never find or ever manage to produce a utopian society thus Bhabha's theory never comes to a conclusion. Only the empirical science of the age of enlightenment has produced principled truths of human nature and the individuals role in society as wholly responsible and accountable for his/her actions under common law and common law justice. Homi Blablabla
The word usage is terrible. This guy's a fuckin trip xD
THIS LECTURE SHOWS WHY PHILOSOPHY IS DYING
This guys a lightweight scammer 🤦♂️
And I just wasted 30 minutes listening to an old hippy read poetry
He's too well dressed to be a hippie... And listening to poetry is not time wasted
Fraud.
Stay where your abilities rise, or rather sink, stick with crushed stone and cement - stop pretending, who do you think you're fooling?!
