Sarah Carey< /b> presents “On Shores and Borderlands: Experiences of Linguis tic Alienation in Derrida and Anzaldúa”

Drawing o n the works of Jacques Derrida and Gloria Anzaldúa, this talk ana lyzes the phenomenon of linguistic alienation that marginalized subjects experience under colonialism. Derrida, who grew up Jewish in French col onial Algeria, and Anzaldúa, who grew up Chicana in south Texas, on the border of the United States and Mexico, give resonant accounts of their childhoods as defined by a sense of living on the edge, torn betw een cultures. Taken together, both thinkers reveal the inextricable rela tionship between their identities and the languages they speak. The colo nial devaluation and suppression of their language leads to a feeling of alienation not only from their native language, but also a loss of thei r very sense of self. Both thinkers show, however, that shores and borde rlands can be more than sites of oppressive alienation. Shores and borde rlands can become fertile grounds for what seems impossible: the creatio n of new, resistant languages and identities.
