Book Description

Publication Date: 15 Jan 1997 | ISBN-10: 0761954325 | ISBN-13: 978-0761954323 | Edition: First Edition
This broad-ranging text offers a comprehensive outline of how visual images, language and discourse work as `systems of representation'.

Individual chapters explore: representation as a signifying practice in a rich diversity of social contexts and institutional sites; the use of photography in the construction of national identity and culture; other cultures in ethnographic museums; fantasies of the racialized `Other' in popular media, film and image; the construction of masculine identities in discourses of consumer culture and advertising; and the gendering of narratives in television soap operas.

Product Description

About the Author

Stuart Hall was born and raised in Jamaica and arrived in Britain on a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford in 1950. In 1958, he left his PhD on Henry James to found the New Left Review, which did much to open a debate about immigration and the politics of identity. Along with Raymond Williams and Richard Hoggart he established the first Cultural Studies programme at a British university in Birmingham in 1964, bringing the study of popular culture into the understanding of political and social change.

After spending more than four decades as one of the UK’s leading public intellectuals, Hall retired from formal academic life in 1997 and since then has continued to devote himself to questions of representation, creativity and difference. He became the chair of two foundations, Iniva, the Institute of International Visual Arts, and Autograph ABP, which seeks to promote photographers from culturally diverse backgrounds, and championed the opening of Iniva’s new Rivington Place arts complex in east London in 2007.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best introduction to "the construction of meaning" 18 Sep 2003
By sunstarsclouds
Format:Paperback
This book is one of the six textbooks used in the D318 course at the Open University (Media, Culture and Identity). It is also the best introduction to "signifying practices", the "construction of meaning", the "formation of social knowledge or meaning". Stuart Hall did a great job. The book has the rare and unusual quality of 1) making you terribly interested in the debates presented 2) creating the "thirst" to read more and thus build a fairly large and very representative bibliography. I have thus far read some 8 titles which are suggested in the reference lists at the end of each of the 6 chapters.


The breadth, the intelligence, the detail, the quality of the debates presented all show that if you take the D318 course from the Open University you will most probably become a lot more qualified than if you attend traditional universities anywhere in the world. Absolutely amazing quality. superb and highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Representation 9 Oct 2011
By Mr. Bartholomew Pavelin
Format:Paperback
This was an easy and fast transaction. One downfall for me was that the book was rated in good condition, which I think is overestimation. There are holes, and marker and pencil annotations throughout the book, I would not usually define this condition as good. Nevertheless, the book is well written and I would highly recommend it for those who are intereseted in discourse analysis.
