As a thinker and cultural critic,Gayatri C.Spivak was well known in English cultural theory circles in the 1980 s and 1990 s.Her criticism is sharp and profound,with a unique perspective,is one of the representatives of the western post-colonial theory.She came into contact with the concept of deconstruction at the beginning of derrida's "on the study of literature",and under the influence of Martin heidegger and Jacques derrida's thought research on deconstruction,she put forward her unique insights and sharp criticism on the research of post-colonialism and feminism.On the basis of reading several of her major works,this paper explores and ponders her critical thoughts on globalization,and tries to show her appeals for political justice,economic justice and gender justice in her thoughts,trying to find the value of spivak's thoughts in her language and words through textual interpretation.Spivak focus on capital and international division of labor,pay attention to the colonial discourse and feminism,and imperialism,her thoughts played a Marx's critique spirit,carry out the principle of the methodology of marxist theory with practice,exposed the hypocrisy of the appearance of imperialist hegemony,also inspired the masses of the focus of postcolonial criticism and the sense of responsibility of intellectuals.But at the same time,her critical thought is also limited by the lack of holistic thinking on the objects of criticism,the utopian thinking on the subjects and ways of competing for colonial discourse power,the one-sided understanding of the impact of capital expansion and the over-reliance on deconstruction methods.Starting from the direction of justice appeal,this paper hopes to provide a new research perspective for scholars to study spivak's thoughts,and also tries to open up a new field for scholars to study the critical theory of globalization.
