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, transcends boundaries, and maintains the commitment to uphold the irreconcilable tension between theory and practice. Volume 4 of the selected writings discusses the interplay of ideology, identity, and representation. In addition to fundamental contributions that address the significance of poststructuralist key categories, the texts focus on the process of conflictual production of representation regimes. Hall successfully theorizes identity-forming practices of representation as contested and dominated, while developing analytical tools to analyze the ideological processes, struggles, and conjunctures of the capitalist present.
