In other worlds

In this classic work, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, one of the leading and most influential cultural theorists working today, analyzes the relationship between language, women and culture in both Western and non-Western contexts. Developing an original integration of powerful contemporary methodologies {u2013} deconstruction, Marxism and feminism {u2013} Spivak turns this new model on major debates in the study of literature and culture, thus ensuring that In Other Worlds has become a valuable tool for studying our own and other worlds of culture.

First sentence: If one project of psychoanalytical criticism is to "submit to this test [of the status of speaking] a certain number of the statements of the philosophic tradition," the American common critic might well fix her glance upon Chapters Twelve and Thirteen of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Biographia Literaria.
