| Summary: | "Human" rights discourse is inherently multicultural, and multicultural discourse is messy. The academese for that goes something like this: I am an "agnostic and ambivalent subject of a double, decentered multicultural choice" (see the following quotations) and my text comes from a minority stance in a "different context.""[A]ffirmative multi-culturalism" can bring no such closure and composure to the subject of cultural choice. Its subjectivity is performatively constituted in the very tension that makes knowledge of cultural difference dense, conglomerative, and nondeliberative. What emerges is an agonistic and ambivalent subject of a double, decentered multicultural choice. (emphasis added)—Homi K. Bhabha |
