Notes on Spivak: What’s Left of Theory?
Abstract
This article takes up the challenge to “wrestle with the angels” (see Introduction, this issue) by focusing on one particular chapter of Spivak’s (2012) An Aesthetic Education in the Era of Globalization (2012). In Chapter 9, Spivak raises the question of “What’s left of theory?” She suggests that the importance lies not in an intellectual history of Marxism, but rather begins with a description of the “state of things” in ways that seem both insightful and necessarily cautionary for curriculum theorizing. Compelling here lies the stated need for an ethics beyond the poverty of ideas rooted in Enlightenment rationalism and a recognition of a new, if nested within a postcolonial history, logic of difference, and engages with author around the notions of culture, hybridity, and spatial analysis.
