Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak

Unlike most others teaching (English) literature, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak is intimately knowledgeable about philosophy, especially German. Her deep knowledge of Kant, Marx, and Gramsci is a red thread running through her many books. And, given her interest in what we call less and less happily “postcolonial” theory (the hesitation coming from an awareness of the problematic meaning of the prefix post-), her discussions of such canonical and inexhaustible philosophical texts never lose sight of the sociopolitical implications of the ideas gleaned from the encounter. Thus, she brings a philosophical tradition to bear on contemporary social issues of a keen actuality. This solid philosophical background does not make her texts always easy to read for literary and other cultural scholars eager to get ideas—preferably quickly—about “how to do” postcolonial literary studies. Spivak's work is as challenging to read, understand, and absorb as it is important in content.

Classroom Assignment

This article examines the “CanLit Dinner Party”, a multimedia exhibition undertaken in an undergraduate seminar on Canadian literature where food was the central topic. Modelled in part after Judy Chicago’s art installation The Dinner Party, this 24-hour exhibition featured interpretive plates inspired by literary food scenes. As a form of experiential learning, the classroom assignment was designed to enhance the students’ critical appreciation for the art of storytelling through food, to think across disciplines, and to synthesize food-related themes studied over the course of the semester. A departure from essay-writing assignments typically found in English literature courses, the “CanLit Dinner Party” underscored food’s role as a cultural idiom by requiring students to engage with its material dimensions.
