English Stitch
[Repeated from Wednesday 11am.] What is English Culture? Over ten weeks Professor Stuart Hall, the godfather of Cultural Studies, takes us on a trip through the national imagination. Hosted by critic and writer K Biswas, the series features never-before-heard archival recordings from seminars delivered in Naples during the 1980s at the height of Thatcherism. In the studio, the thinker's friends and voices inspired by his work examine his theories, unravelling the social and cultural fabric of the nation. English Stitch has been made in collaboration with the Stuart Hall Archive Project at the University of Birmingham. In Episode Seven, Stuart addresses 'the popular' and populism in the postwar period. Biz is joined by sociologist Angela McRobbie, who was at the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies with Stuart, and historian Bill Schwarz, who is the co-editor (with Catherine Hall) of the Duke University Press series of Stuart’s writings. To learn about the project and access more of Stuart Hall’s archive, join the mailing list: https://stuarthallarchive.bham.ac.uk/mailing-list/.
