Can the Subaltern Speak?: Gayatri Spivak and the Politics of Representation

Have you ever wondered how power shapes what we consider "knowledge"? Gayatri Spivak, a leading postcolonial theorist, forces us to confront the often-hidden ways that certain voices are silenced within systems of power. From colonization to modern institutions, we'll examine her famous question "Can the subaltern speak?" and explore how marginalized groups are systematically excluded from representation. Discover concepts like epistemic violence, the limitations of inclusion, and how knowledge can become a tool of control.
