Resistance do not manifest itself in gestures actually. In the fourth chapter of The Location of Culture, Of Mimicry and Man, Bhabha goes into the nuances of the economy of colonial discourse. In the give and take, there is an ironic compromise by the colonisers. The success of colonization has within itself a threat, a menace of making the Oriental man completely English in temperament and personality. An obvious threat to the colonial discourse. This is what Bhabha reads as the manifestation of resistance, a subversion made possible by the same tools used to subjugate the colonised.

sorry for being off topic but i find it completely unacceptable that we never got a good view of the cat in the background, and i am not talking about the painting.

Hi! A Romanian Ma student here. 😂 I've almost jumped when you suddenly mentioned the example regarding how a Romanian might interact with Bram Stoker's novel. Thanks for the video! It helped a lot!

[@extropical2846]

Thank you for these vids, they've really helped me out during my studies. :)

[@Articolate]

Woof. Thank you for this. A much stronger treatment of Bhabha than vid on "hybrid" - here's hoping my like and comment help bump the viewer count 😄

[@ervinabajrami]

Thank you David!
I am now entering into the field of these topics and your explanations are quite neatly put (especially after reading Bhabha's introduction on Location of Culture, this was a feast for ears).

thanks david, edward said is one of the worldly people that sings to my soul, I am iranian and I would like to recommend to you Rubayyat of Omar Khayyam ny Edward Fitzgerald, for pleasure, also I find poetry a great gateway to open up different perspectives in philosophy, as you find reading easier than writing, to me writing easy and reading hard cause I have to deconstruct and follow all leads laterally and turn it upside down, but writing, easy, cause I am full of shit

[@whitecomet3036]

This is objectively the best explanation of the difference between Bhabha and Said's takes on postcolonialism

[@NikhilSingh-007]

Can you pls do one on Ulrich Beck's Risk Society?

[@morqesahar]

Is Al-e Ahmad's concept of Westoxification (Gharb Zadegi) at all discussed in circles not familiar with Persian studies? Since he also fell into the trap of heavily emphasizing tradition of what makes us, us. It would great if you could do a video on that as well since it's a relatively short text.

I have seen something different between british ideology and other other european ideology. Most of the british ideology are progressive without violent . Locke, Mills, and there fabian socialism they are all peacefull even in there glorious revolution without a single bloodshed. While looking to other european they are somewhat aggressive like Marx, Machiavelli, Lenin even france origanted socialism ' syndicalism' what is the back ground reason for this
