Isi artikel

Since the 1960's and '70s, the voices of the Third World have been recovered and recognized by the academy in the name of subversive politics. Interestingly, most of the works selected and priviliged by the academy are those seen as most directly addressing and/or deconstructing oppressive representations of "Third World Women." As native informant texts, they are used to round out syllabi of women's studies, postcolonial studies, and literature courses that seek an authentic representation of Third World women's subjectivity and subjugation. Third World women writers, along with their texts, are often treated as unproblematic embodiments of authentic otherness. Although they have consistently complained that their works are treated as if they provided unmediated access to the experience and knowledge of alterity, these authors find themselves fetishized as transcendental signifiers of authenticity and oppression.
