Roundtable with Gayatri Spivak on “Aesthetic Education in the Age of Globalization”

In 2010 Ramon Saldivar and I joined Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak in a discussion of her lecture of this title.  Ramon spoke about how hemispheric and trans-national studies gave a particular texture to “globalization” and cultural artifacts; I spoke on how notions of rationality and translation had an impact on how we view others, drawing on both Donald Davidson for the former and Etiemble for the latter.  The discussion then ranged to ideas of hope, memory, reconciliation, justice.  You can listen to the discussion here.
