Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak on Representation - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 716 Representation/Political Representation/Marx/Spivak: in reference to Marx' The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (1852), Spivak distinguishes between two forms of representation: According to Marx, the French parcel farmers do not represent a coherent class,(1) >Representation/Marx. Spivak: now distinguishes between "representation" as "speaking from" and "representation" as "speaking for".(2) SpivakVsDeleuze/SpivakVsFoucault: for these two authors, the two forms coincide. Thus the aesthetic portrait, which symbolically represents the disempowered as a coherent political subject, becomes a transparent expression of their political desires and interests. Problem: Deleuze and Foucault presuppose a coherence between interest and desire. >Interest/Spivak. 1. Vgl. Karl Marx, Der achtzehnte Brumaire des Louis Bonaparte, Frankfurt/M. 2007 (zuerst 1852) 2.
