Scott reviewed Cultural Studies 1983 by Stuart Hall
Review of 'Cultural Studies 1983' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
It's always a joy (though often a challenging joy) to read Stuart Hall. An incredible collection of humbly delivered insights and reflections on the history, theories, developments, directions, importance and potential for Cultural Studies. While Hall has blind spots and primarily engages with (and pushes the bounds of) European Marxist theory, there is lots of rich material. My favorite lectures were Lecture 6, "Ideology and Ideological Struggle," and Lecture 8, "Culture, Resistance, and Struggle."
