Stalled somewhat by taking the time to discuss the immeasurable influence of Spivak on the creation of Derrida - and the disavowal of this, which I think is a prejudicial crime, I did not get to discuss Robinson as much as I had hoped. What was new was the bit about the footnote on primitive natural communal property and the anthropological eurocentrism of deriving earlier European forms from the example of Asia. See Spivak's critique of such moves in part three of the Philosophy section of Critique of Postcolonial Reason.
As for Robinsonades - a draft chapter for Claire Reddleman's Robinson book is here, in case you have too much free time: Robinsonaden
Earlier I was talking with Nandita more about verandahs and remembered this discussion at Tate Modern.

If you comment and want to add a link you have to hand code the links using html formatting, which is hard to describe without including active code, but here goes:
the less than sign, letter a, space, the word href, the url in double talking marks, greater than sign, then your link word(s), finished by less than sign, forward slash, letter a, greater than sign.
Its complicated! Sorry. Blogspot should fix it.
