Speech Acts

Geeta Kapur's writings engage with modernity, emphasizing alongside the need to identify the contradictions that undergird it. She has traversed a situated discourse across categories such as the Third World, the postcolonial and the global South. In Speech Acts, she problematizes her own discourse by marking historical disjunctures, by tracking cultural anomalies in the contemporary. The essays, lectures and interviews that constitute this book range from manifesto-like assertions to the more reflective, wherein the relationship between subjectivity, aesthetics, and practice above all, is endorsed.
