"....... Spivak's eclectic and often contradictory critical scope resembles her shifting position as an academic "subject." Simultaneously privileged as an elite, even esoteric intellectual currently teaching at Columbia University, and marginalized as a "Third-World woman," "hyphenated-American," and Bengali exile, Spivak uses deconstruction to address the ways in which she is in fact complicit in the production of social formations that she ostensibly opposes."

After listening to five of Spivak's lectures, thanks to you tube, I have to say that
the above description of Spivak seems quite appropriate. "Eclectic and contradictory" sums it all up- subject to new information.
