Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak
Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak is a
deconstructive literary critic and
theorist. She is best-known for the article "Can the Subaltern Speak?", which was a founding text of
postcolonialism, and also for her translation of
Derrida's Of Grammatology. Spivak currently teaches at
Columbia University, though Spivak teaches abroad and travels so much that in academic circles in New York the old joke goes, "Where does Gayatri Spivak teach?" Punchline: "Everywhere but Columbia."
