concept again in the Spivak draws on Marx a double meaning and representation turns out: "represent" (as an aesthetic portrait) and "represent" (by a political representative). For Spivak, this is coming to a head in an understanding of representation as a way of speaking of " and representation as "a talk show". The figure of the critical Western intellectuals is represented in Spivak's essay on the post-structuralists Foucault and Deleuze. By privileging local conflicts and micro-political forms of resistance to the post-structuralists, the global connections slip from view. The non-recognition of ideology theoretical assumptions led to a perspective that the marginalized designed as a classical-humanistic subjects, the resistant and are fully aware of their situation. Foucault, for example, believes that the masses are able to speak for themselves and would not need the intellectuals. The intellectuals themselves are Part of existing power configurations that they transform to an object and the same instrument.
