[Reader-list] [Announcements] Discussion on Recovering Subversion: Feminist Politics Beyond the Law

[Lokesh]

  Join us for a discussion with


Nivedita Menon
On
Recovering Subversion:
Feminist Politics Beyond the Law


Based on her recently published book of the same title (Permanent Black, 
2004), Nivedita Menon will engage with us on a discussion of a 
particular dilemma for radical politics today, what she calls the 
“paradox of constitutionalism” – the tension between the need to assert 
various and differing moral visions and the universalizing drive of 
constitutionality and the language of universal rights. What are the 
specific historical experiences of the Indian feminist movement in 
engaging with this dilemma? What are its consequences for the present, 
and where do we go from here?


Venue: Seminar Room, Dept. of Linguistics
