Ethics and politics in Tagore, Coetzee and certain scenes of teaching

Autor Gayatri Chakravarty Spivak Rosinka Chaudhuri
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 feb 2019
This essay is a version of the text presented as a paper in Kolkata in February 2003. This was the first day of the two-day S. G. Deuskar lecture delivered by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta. Fifteen years after that event, this essay finds its place among a new CSSSC lecture series titled Social Science Across Disciplines. Spivak's essay on ethics and politics is infused with a concern to bring forward the way the 'literary' works in the production of ethics and politics. The notion of ethics that she uses here is far removed from an inventory of moral principles or moral action. Instead, the ethical, here, is something like a much broader notion of a mentality, or sensibility, which remains part of ones being.

Recenzii

The SG Deuskar and RCDutt lectures are iconic lectures across diverse fields in the social sciences, known widely within the scholarly domain. Both in terms of the brilliance and exceptional stature of the speakers over the ages, and the capacity to address key debates in the subject areas, the series have stood the test of time and enriched varied disciplinary areas. On a scale of 1-10 I would mark the importance of this series at 10. While this is not new work, being published by the OUP will widen the readership and increase the shelf life of the lectures. The original CSSSC publications of the lectures, have gone out of print now and are incredibly difficult to get hold of outside Kolkata, let alone India.

Over the last forty years or so some of the most respectable scholars from across the world have given the Deuskar and R.C. Dutt lectures at the CSSSK. Many of these lectures have been published and are considered classics. Also, some of the best research produced at the Centre over the years has been published under its Occasional Papers series; some of these have been published in various forms and have significantly added to our knowledge and theoretical understanding of various aspects of history, society, politics and economy of India.
