Rey Chow in her essay Where Have all the Natives Gone?(Chow‚1993)‚ reminds us that‚ for Gayatri Spivak‚ the subaltern discourse is ultimately not translatable to the dominant episteme‚ the power- knowledge is unable to hear the actual voice of the subaltern–that is what Spivak’s “silent” subaltern means. According to Spivak the subaltern cannot speak because they do not “speak” in a “language” that is already recognized by the dominant culture or power regime. The subaltern who cannot speak is not

information prior to this century and how the issues of the day were discussed‚ the stark contrast between then and now becomes so clear that it’s a wonder that we barely notice what’s been happening. The crisis is the gradual dumbing-down of our discourse since the dawn of the information age‚ and the treatment of the serious issues of our time as nothing more than fodder for entertainment.
