The definition of Subaltern:
• In critical theory and post colonialism, subaltern refers to the populations that are socially, politically and geographically outside of the hegemonic power structure of the colony and of the colonial homeland.
• The term subaltern is derived from Antonio Gramsci's work on cultural hegemony.
Antonio Gramsci:
Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak:
• In "Can the Subaltern Speak?" Spivak discusses the lack of an account of the Sati practice, leading her to reflect on whether the subaltern can even speak.
Prospero:
• Prospero: “Better yet from a brutish monster I have made man!
But ah! To have failed to find the path to man’s heart….”
Character of Caliban:
• Caliban: “I’m not interested in peace, I’m interested in being free.”
Thank You…..
