Zusammenfassung: | <jats:p>The article examines four ways of reading the work of a twentieth‐century Anglophone Indian intellectual, by employing postcolonial, Foucauldian, Žižekan/Lacanian, and ultimately deconstructive approaches to produce, in each case, a very different thinker: a willing imperialist tool, a sly subverter of colonial hegemony, a postcolonial subject fraught with internal libidinal tensions in its relationship to the paternal power, and, finally, an intellectual obsessed with historically emptying and rendering finite every cultual phenomenon he encounters.</jats:p> |
