Homi Bhabha Keynote Lecture
March 9, 2017 at 1:15 PM to 2:30 AM
| Location: | Richcraft Hall |
Homi Bhabha Keynote Lecture in 2200 Richcraft Building (the Singhal Family Theatre) from 1:15 – 2:30 p.m., doors open at 1:00 p.m.
This is an open event with pre-registration that is associated with the conference on “Mapping a Pluralist Space in Ismaili Studies”.
Homi Bhabha is the Anne F. Rothenberg Professor of English and American Literature and Language, and the Director of the Humanities Center at Harvard University.
He is one of the most important figures in contemporary post-colonial studies and has developed a number of the field’s neologisms and key concepts, such as hybridity, mimicry, difference, and ambivalence. These terms describe ways in which colonized peoples have resisted the power of the colonizer, according to Bhabha’s theory. (source: Wikipedia)
