Translation of "Subaltern" in English

The techniques influenced both feminist historians and the Subaltern Studies Group, writing the histories of marginalised groups.

In Can the Subaltern Speak?

In Guha, R. Subaltern Studies.

To this end, my projects will combine the approaches of environmental history and subaltern studies.

The term Subaltern Studies is sometimes also applied more broadly to others who share many of their views.

In February 1945, she joined the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service, as an honorary Second Subaltern with the service number of 230873.

She often focuses on the cultural texts of those who are marginalised by dominant western culture: the new immigrant, the working class, women, and other positions of the subaltern.

This narrative strategy most clearly inspired by the writings of Gramsci was explicated in the writings of their "mentor" Ranajit Guha, most clearly in his "manifesto" in Subaltern Studies I and also in his classic monograph "The Elementary Aspects of Peasant Insurgency".

Between 1955 and 1957, he served as Subaltern in the Headquarters of the King's Royal Rifle Corps in Winchester and in the regiment's 1st Battalion in Derna in Libya.

The literature on intersectionality has also been enhanced by the focus on representational politics, driven by Judith Butler's Gender Trouble and also Gayatri Spivak's Can the Subaltern Speak [12] .

This gives rise to something that already appeared obvious in the literary context, namely that research – anthropological, historical, social – and artistic experimentation intersect and are interlaced, so that it becomes difficult, for example, not to consider how post-colonial studies and subaltern studies - with such significant contributions from the country’s academics, both in India and throughout the diaspora - will filter through into this context.

In his works, Dipesh Chakrabarty (Department of History, University of Chicago) has challenged the concept of an Eurocentric historicism from a post-colonial and subaltern studies' perspective.

In 1985, she published the essay Can the Subaltern speak?, about the classes that live at a distance from social mobility, considered a founding text of post-colonialism.

Now, I have written elsewhere about the peregrinations of postcolonial studies and subaltern studies around the world, and of the way languages are involved and performative in this.

The recording of this conversation constitutes the raw material of the video work, whose title refers to Gayatri Spivak’s text “Can the Subaltern Speak?“.

It is solidarity as such that has become subaltern today, because there is no language in which it can be audibly articulated.

This last aspect is what especially interests Spivak, and with it she goes beyond the approach of the Subaltern Studies Group.

Because it would be impossible, in the short space available, to map the broad and variegated field of postcolonial studies in its entirety the second section will summarise as representative examples the theories of three central protagonists of contemporary postcolonial studies: Edward Said (1925–2003) and his critique of Orientalism, Homi Bhabha's (born 1949) concept of hybridity and, finally, Dipesh Chakrabarty (born 1948), who emerged from the Subaltern Studies school and whose oft-quoted appeal to "provincialise" Europe takes particular aim at the methodological Eurocentrism prevalent in the discipline of history.
