Righting Wrongs

Gayatri Spivak
Visiting Lecturer in Women's Studies, University of Pennsylvania

Abstract

Responsibility-based cultures are long stagnating and unprepared for the public sphere; rights-based cultures are increasingly committed to corporatism in philanthropy. The former need supplementation for entry into democratic reflexes just as the latter need supplementation into the call of the other. Supplementation is needed by both sides. The Humanities can play a role. Otherwise Human Rights feed (on) class apartheid.

This workshop was co-sponsored with the Global Gender Seminar
