Re-imagining and Remembering in Gaza: A Response to Spivak’s Humanities Beyond the Disciplines: Imaginative Activism

Spivak’s contribution to this symposium invites us to think beyond ethics in the abstract and instead to ground it in the “epistemology of the subaltern,” placing emphasis on a “humanities-style education” in thinking precisely from those margins in the interests of “social justice for all.” In my response to her essay, I take up her invitation to “abstract up” my reading of her intervention through the specifics of Gaza.
