(these events co-hosted by Centre for Postcolonial Studies, Centre for Cultural Studies, Media and Communications Department, and The Graduate School of Goldsmiths (Spivak); and the Centre for Postcolonial Studies and Centre for Cultural Studies (Olalquiaga). All welcome.)

John, A podcast please especially G.C. Spivak’s talk “Old Woman!”
sorry, this will most likely remain a non pod-world event. J
More details – there are no tickets for this event, so please come early to claim a seat. The hall is big but there is no overflow and no streaming (sorry).
I am not sure exactly what Gayatri will address in her lecture ‘Old Women’, but I do note she translated two stories by Mahasweta Devi in a book entitled Old Women about 6 years ago. For more on Mahasweta Devi see my commentary here: http://hutnyk.wordpress.com/2006/10/13/notes-for-devi/
On Gayatri’s 1999 book, Critique of Postcolonial Reason, see here: http://hutnyk.wordpress.com/2007/10/24/spivak-critique-of-postcolonial-reason-11/
Can anyone here post on youtube the last section of the talk Spivak made? Everything is there except the last part.
