► Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak: The Trajectory of the Subaltern in My Work. Columbia University Professor Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, is one of the leading literary theorists and cultural critics of our times. She takes issue with Western intellectuals' account of their inability to mediate the historical experience of the working classes and the underprivileged of society. Series: "Voices" . Uploaded on Feb 7, 2008 by
UCtelevision ||  ► Gayatri Spivak on An Aesthetic Education in the Era of Globalization. During the past twenty years, the world's most renowned critical theorist—the scholar who defined the field of postcolonial studies—has experienced a radical reorientation in her thinking. Finding the neat polarities of tradition and modernity, colonial and postcolonial, no longer sufficient for interpreting the globalized present, she turns elsewhere to make her central argument: that aesthetic education is the last available instrument for implementing global justice and democracy.  In essays on theory, translation, Marxism, gender, and world literature, and on writers such as Assia Djebar, J.M. Coetzee, and Rabindranath Tagore, Spivak argues for the social urgency of the humanities and renews the case for literary studies, imprisoned in the corporate university. "Perhaps," she writes, "the literary can still do something." Uploaded on Jan 20, 2012 by harvardupress

► An Evening with Chinua Achebe. Through his fiction and non-fiction works, Nigerian author Chinua Achebe has sought to repair the damage done to the continent of Africa and its people as a result of European colonization. This is best exemplified in his most famous novel "Things Fall Apart," one of the first African novels written in English to achieve national acclaim. Set in the 1890s, the novel deals with the impact of British colonialism on the traditional Igbo society in Nigeria. Published in 1958 -- just two years before the end of a century of British rule in Nigeria -- the novel celebrated its 50th anniversary of publication in 2008. "An Evening with Chinua Achebe" featured the author reading from his celebrated work. Uploaded on May 11, 2009 by LibraryOfCongress
