Stephen Morton’s Gayatri Spivak is a wonderful introduction to Spivak’s work. Mark Sanders’s Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak: Live Theory is quite lovely because it reads Spivak through the lens of translation. Spivak as translator, loosely put, par excellence. A version of what seems to be the entire picture that appeared in an early Routledge catalog raises even more questions. I don’t want to analyze the picture at length, but suffice it to say that the woman in the picture is cradling a bespectacled white man and in the background there looms a bear.
It must be also about the binary within – the appearance of the Third in the First, the East in the West, the South in the North, and so on. The inclusion of a novella about tribals in India is a jarring intervention in a chapter that is about the worlding of the Third World, soul making, and the (im)possible representation and function of the native informant. Jarring, because it draws attention to the various modalities of being located. Is Spivak’s reading of this novella a locationist cultural studies tied to national origins?
Wide Sargasso Sea fills in the gaps in the inherited narrative, offering the reader intention and determination in the character of Antoinette. But, as Spivak shows in her reading, Antoinette lives up to the Kantian categorical imperative while drawing attention to the impossibility of its survival for the tainted other in an imperial economy. Spivak’s reading of Wide Sargasso Sea does not conclude with a reading of Antoinette and Rochester. She extends her analysis to the character of Christophine, Antoinette’s black nurse from Martinique, who is offered as a wedding gift to Antoinette’s mother, Annette.
