Subject: Re:reading list ideas


Perhaps Jacques Derrida's _The Ear of the Other_, which contains an
essay on autobiography, would be of use, as well as his recently
published _Monolingualism of the Other, or the Prosthesis of the
Origin_, in which he meditates on the experience of being bilingual,
multilingual, and multicultural.  In addition, perhaps Gayatri Spivak's
_Imaginary Maps_ would be helpful, in which she lovingly translates one
of her favorite postcolonial feminist writers, M. Devi.  And, Trinh T.
Minh-Ha's _Woman, Native, Other_ ceaselessly demonstrates and performs
the split and/as slippage of the "I."  Lastly but certainly not least,
are Teresa Hak Kyung Cha's _Dictee_ and Gloria Anzaldua's
_Borderlands_.  Good luck and hope "I/i" could help!!
