The Wellek Lectures in Critical Theory — 2002. How those interested in social justice can and should pay attention to rereading the classics like Conrad and Woolf alongside major writers from outside the West. This is a call for a renewed, re-thought comparative literature & Spivak leads by example. Her charge is that big American publishers, seeing a market for authoritative anthologies of World Literature in translation, are effectively delimiting the subject with micro-bites of 'representative' works that then come, across the world, to 'stand' for, say, Chinese literature, or Bengali writing. |
