Our new Reading the Crisis series asks: what kinds of tools and strategies are needed to address this conjuncture? This online conversation series will seek to advance Stuart Hall’s thinking by analysing a curated selection of three of Hall’s essays in relation to present-day political formations. Each conversation, chaired by Aasiya Lodhi, will form an online teach-in space dedicated to demonstrating how engaging in a conjunctural analysis can enrich artistic practice, deepen organising work, and academic study.
The second event in the online series takes place on Monday 24th June 2024, 5.30pm – 7pm BST, and will feature Aditya Chakrabortty and Moya Lothian-McLean responding to ‘The Neoliberal Revolution’ (Hall, 2011).
‘The Neoliberal Revolution’ is available to read for free from 3rd June – 1st July here.
This event will take place online.
Live closed captions will be provided.
Reading the Crisis is part of the Stuart Hall Foundation’s Catastrophe and Emergence programme. Learn more about Catastrophe and Emergence here.
In partnership with Duke University Press supported by Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
