Stuart Hall

Stuart Hall

Stuart Hall (1932-2014) is considered one of the main referents of the so-called cultural studies. Jamaican of origin, he settled in England, where he later became an invitation of Richard Hoggart at the Center for Contemporary Cultural Studies of the University of Birmingham. With E. P. Thompson and Raymond Williams he was founder of the New Left Review and militant of various groups and magazines of the British Marxism heterodox throughout his life. Fruit of this double aspect, militancy and cultural criticism, there are three collective works in which Hall played a central role: resistance rituals, published in Spanish by this editorial; Policing The Crisis (1978), on the incipient conservative revolution promoted by Thatcher; and The Empire Strikes Back (1982), about racism in England of the seventies. Obliged reference works, written at the same time as the Fucent Triangle are also Formations of Modernity (1992) and Questions of Cultural Identity (1996).
