Provincializing Europe Dipesh Chakrabarty
Publisher: Princeton University Press

Acknowledging this slippage of translation, Dipesh Chakrabarty in 'Provincializing Europe' describes a problematic of 'rough translation'. For its citizens, Europe has become a cold and alienating power, instead of the welcoming space it was meant to be. In Provincializing Europe, Chakrabarty argues that this view of capital as total and totalizing is an inheritance of historicism. Zwei Essays zu Europa, Frankfurt/M. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2000. Etwa Jacques Derrida, Das andere Kap. Provincializing Europe: Postcolonial Thought and Historical Difference. Analyzing globalization, the Middle East & the world-system. (Suhrkamp) 1992; Dipesh Chakrabarty, Provincializing Europe. These movements and these struggles are displacing and de-centering Europe on the level of everyday life. They are provincializing it, to put it with Dipesh Chakrabarty.
