Abstract
Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's placement of her essay 'Can the subaltern speak?' in the 'History' chapter of her book A Critique of Postcolonial Reason emphasizes its deconstruction of Marxist politics. Introducing the notion of allegory as a 'reading otherwise' linked to responsibility as a call to the wholly other, Spivak's repositioning of her analysis of Marx's two terms for representation ( Darstellung , Vertretung ) in the Eighteenth Brumaire can be read as an opening toward a socialist ethics.
