Week 3

Writing, reading, rewriting, reading, editing, writing...




Works of Trinh T. Minh-ha::

Woman Native Other, Reassemblage, Surname Viet Given Name Nam


Trihn deconstructs Postcolonial notions of race and gender shaped by contemporary feminists and anthropological discourses. 
Quotes:
"Writing, reading, thinking, speculating, these are luxury activities…. So I am reminding, permitted to a privileged few. The guilt promotes passivity and harbors a lack of confidence, distractions, distortion, and despair, further entrenching women in the patriarchal discourse."


Between knowledge and power there is room for knowledge without power.” 



Watched Reasseblage, clips, fragments of ideas arranged into a documentary format
