I just completed listening and occasionally watching the entire video in the background while doing other things of course. I have the following observations: a) there must have been an easier way to say whatever it is she just said b) no one wins any respect in my book unless they can explain themselves sufficiently clearly c) being an abusive person hyper-critical of others isn't nice Ergo I expect to see a lot of shit flying around on the Internet criticizing this lady (who inexplicably hangs onto the last name of a man from many marriages back), but there isn't? All the heuristics (and I can only proceed on heuristics because I understood little of the talk itself) point me to ignore this person, but Wikipedia and a story in the NYT and many blogs mostly with other Bengalis (!) are gushing over her. So I'm curious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gayatri_Chakravorty_Spivak
