Stuart Hall is not only one of the most important founders of Cultural Studies. His influence is particularly crucial because he continually engages with new theoretical and political questions, transcending boundaries while maintaining the commitment to uphold the irreconcilable tension between theory and practice. For him, theory is always an intervening theory in the interest of liberation. "If this tension is lost, one can certainly produce excellent intellectual work, but one loses the intellectual practice, the politics." In Volume 3, Hall develops the foundational principles of Cultural Studies and addresses questions of postmodernism, globalization, and the internationalization of Cultural Studies. The volume also includes a detailed interview in which Hall discusses the relationships between his personal experiences.
