Aprox 66 millions refugees left their homes since this lecture - indeed this academic high-horse ideologues spoke of a borderless world...

[@theawesomesandbox]

Uh you're watching a critique of border regimes.

I like her way of philosophizing things

[@r.gh.2141]

Let's start with doorless homes and start with your home - let us know how that goes.

at 1:00 the guy talking about mono- and multilingualism when speaking of the languages present in Tucson, Arizona, he does not even mention native languages!? it is irritating. Is this the kind of people that say to prefer to read texts in english and not translations when talking about books from non english writers?

[@nationalsocialist6590]

It's never good enough.

[@pradipsch]

Amazing ,do not have any language to express my feeling . We need her opinion about “Akhand Bharat “. Is it possible to achieve at all. Thank you. With regards Pradip Mukherjee

Excellent lecture on Borderless World...

[@AvgustGeorgi]

It is hard to me to understand what she says and who she speaks for. The only thing I seem to be sure of is that she is an Indian who wants to live in the West and work as a leading academic.

[@Karamazov9]

It seems to me that you’re a bigot, she’s an eminent intellectual and everyone has the right to live everywhere

[@AvgustGeorgi]

@@Karamazov9 if everyone can live everywhere why is there trench warfare in the Donbas?

Mrs Doubtfire lol

Spivak is one of the best Marxist philosophers of the 21st century.

[@Advneethupadoor]

Hei, she is part of subaltern history , not Marxist ,

[@martinseptimryden7272]

@@Advneethupadoor there's no difference, and if she convinced you otherwise then she got you good. I'll be brutally honest here, Spivak is a con-artist that is the living embodiment of "fake it 'til you make it". She has made circular arguments into an artform and it's simply impossible to speak with her for prolonged periods since it's very tiresome to listen or participate in a conversation without substance. There is ample reason for her being divorced and childless, just sayin'....

[@Advneethupadoor]

@@martinseptimryden7272 ja I likes her lectures especially subaltern history notes

[@CourtneyW-jr6fx]

Kung.pao chicken

[@nationalsocialist6590]

A borderless worlds can never exist in a multicultural world because not all ideologies can coexist together. You want a monoculture where everyone or almost everyone thinks and acts the same with the same values.

[@AvgustGeorgi]

If there are no borders there can be no dissidents.
