Some questions and topics we will think about and discuss in this session include: Learning about the concepts of “writing women” and “writing body”; How to write about an ‘other’ ethnicity or culture; History / Heritage from Below; In the context of decolonization, how are the author’s arguments relevant?

*About the book Woman, Native, Other:

“In this first full-length study, Trinh Minh-ha examines post-colonial processes of displacement — cultural hybridization and decentered realities, fragmented selves and multiple identities, marginal voices and languages of rupture. Working at the intersection of several fields — women’s studies, anthropology, critical cultural studies, literary criticism, and feminist theory, she juxtaposes numerous prevailing contemporary discourses in a form that questions the (male-is-norm) literary and theoretical establishment.”

The session is moderated by Linh Le.
