Stuart Hall (cultural theorist)
Stuart Henry McPhail Hall was a Jamaican-British Marxist sociologist, cultural theorist, and political activist. Hall – along with Richard Hoggart and Raymond Williams – was one of the founding figures of the school of thought known as British Cultural Studies or the Birmingham School of Cultural Studies.
"Much of my professional life has been concerned with the politics of who we think we are. Ive been riveted by the question of how we can understand the chaos of identifications which we seek to reach somehow, ourselves. Of course this arrival never occurs; well never be ourselves, whatever that could mean."
