Stuart Hall  

Definition

  • Stuart Hall (1932–) is a British cultural theorist, critic, and political strategist whose work centers on intersections between culture, society, and power and the resultant meanings within texts that members of a culture consider as common sense. Hall is one of the most influential theorists responsible for the definition and institutionalization of cultural studies as a separate academic discipline and one of the key figures of the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) at the University of Birmingham, England, where work in this area was pioneered notably during the 1970s.
