Becky, Jess and I are very appreciative of the enthusiasm for Stuart’s work that has inspired this extraordinary set of events at Goldsmiths during the week of 24th to 28th November. It is heart-warming to see the ways in which his legacies live on across disciplines and generations. Stuart always had connections with Goldsmiths and he admired its commitment to the study of culture in its broadest sense - as a way of life. We hope to be able to join you in this celebratory week and would like to thank all those who have made it possible.

With particular reference to identity and race, The Unfinished Conversation presents Stuart Hall’s memories and personal archives, extracted and relocated in an imagined and different time to reflect on the questionable nature of memory itself. As a co-founding member of the Black Audio Film Collective [1982], John Akomfrah achieved critical success in 1986 with his debut film documentary, Handsworth Songs [1986].

As a key thinker in cultural theory, his work became the focal point of several generations of artists, film makers and critics, initially for the Caribbean Artists Movement [CAM] and of Black Diasporic British Artists in the 1980s and 1990s and eventually of the much broader engagement with questions of post colonial identity within late capitalist, Neo Liberal erosions of notions of difference in the demise of ‘the common.’ As Jean Fisher has written “Given the significance of the image in culture, Hall’s analysis of black subjectivity and the politics of representation became a rallying point for the Bam [Black Arts Movement]. Nonetheless, as - - Professor Stuart Hall Events Week Hall ironically commented at the time, advocates of the postmodern were pronouncing the ‘death of the subject’ “I think you always need the double perspective. Before you say that you have to understand what it is like to come from that “other” place. How it feels to live in that closed world. How such ideas have kept people together in the face of all that has at the very moment when the black self was constructing happened to them...” 4 itself as a speaking subject. - Professor Stuart Hall For Hall, however, like Frantz Fanon before him, subjectivity was a sociopolitical construct and identity was not a fixed entity but in continuous negotiation and transformation 3 - Professor Stuart Hall Events Week - - Professor Stuart Hall Events Week with the world.” Hall’s understanding of the linked geographies that made up globalised culture opened the door for a broad understanding of the layered connections and relations between the dominant and the dominated, and in his work as Chairman of both INIVA and of Autograph ABP during the 1990s and early Noughties, he grounded this vision in a strong but profoundly integrated understanding of a globalised art world. Our panel will pick out these dynamics from within the rich legacy of Hall’s thought. The panel discussion is chaired by Professor Irit Rogoff with Isaac Julien, Gilane Tawadros and Professor Sarat Maharaj. - Tuesday 25th November, 2pm - 5pm, MRB Screen 1 [Dept. of Visual Cultures] MA Filmmaking student, source, MA Filmmaking student, source, www.darshanaphotoart.co.uk/mafilmaking 6 BCA Event with Stuart Hall Source, Black Cultural Archives, Brixton 7 Learning from Stuart Hall: An Architectural Analysis of the Transformations of Higher Education - Working with materials sourced from a wide variety of archives and contexts, the PhD students in The Centre for Research Architecture create an exhibition that explores

Following the closure of the consultation on this proposed move on Thursday 6th May, the Government has until mid-June to come to a decision on the future of funding for the arts in higher education – and the sector aims to remind them not only of the critical value of the arts to the UK’s economy, but the essential role they play in the long term cultural infrastructure, creative ambition and wellbeing of the nation. Working in partnership with the UK’s Visual Arts Alliance (VAA) and London Art School Alliance (LASA) to galvanise the sector in their united response, the CVAN’s open letter emphasises that art is essential to the growth of the country.

This ambitious and challenging collection of tightly interwoven essays will find an eager au- dience among students and faculty in British and imperial history, as well as those interested in liberalism and moder- nity in other parts of the world.” Jordanna BaILkIn, author of The Culture of Property: The Crisis of Liberalism in Modern Britain “This volume investigates no less than the relationship of liberalism to Britain’s rise as an empire and the first modern nation. In its global scope and with its broad historical perspective, it makes a strong case for why British history still matters. It will be central for anyone interested in understanding how modernity came about.” Frank TrenTMann, author of Free Trade Nation: Consumption, Commerce, and Civil Society in Modern Britain In this wide-ranging volume, leading scholars across several disciplines—history, literature, sociology, and cultural studies—investigate the nature of liberalism and modernity in imperial Britain since the eighteenth century. They show how Britain’s liberal version of modernity (of capitalism, democracy, and imperialism) was the product of a peculiar set of historical cir- cumstances that continues to haunt our neoliberal present.

  • E. P. Thompson, Politics and History: Writing Social History Fifty Years
    Special Issue: E.P. Thompson after Fifty Years RUDI BATZELL,SVEN BECKERT,ANDREW GORDON, AND GABRIEL WINANT E. P. Thompson, Politics and History: Writing Social History Fifty Years after The Making of the English Working Class Downloaded from Abstract These four articles revisit crucial concepts in the work of E.P. Thompson and the debates that follow him. Each looks forward to contemporary and future scholar- ship, and the real and potential relationship between historiography and social movements on the left. They reopen debates on moral economy, disputing how much of the working-class past is usable in the present. Particularly given the trans- http://jsh.oxfordjournals.org/ formed nature of the state since the period of social transition in early modern England, this question seems urgent: can (arguably) backward-looking claims of traditional rights continue to serve to guide working-class resistance movements, given that they must invoke the powers of the modern state? Can ideas of class drawn from a period in which men were understood as workers and citizens, and women were not, be made useful in a different moment? Are there class formations possible under capitalism other than the bourgeois-proletarian antagonism to which we are accustomed? Do these challenges require a thorough rethinking of the rela- by guest on June 18, 2015 tionship between such basic categories as law and political economy, class and gender? More recent social movements—indigenous, anticolonial, antiracist, femi- nist, and anti-war—might not have been recognized or countenanced by Thompson as “working class,” but might they be useful in conversation with the Thompsonian legacy of class analysis? Together, these papers push the boundaries of our inheritance from Thompson, and suggest ways in which new social and po- litical contexts—new states, new movements, and a drastically changed global economy—can reanimate the political force of Thompson’s work.

  • May 2013 Exhibitions & Events Keywords
    Exhibitions & Events March – May 2013 Keywords Exhibition 27 March – Words stay the same but their use often 18 May 2013 changes. These cultural shifts in society fascinated Raymond Williams, who in 1976 published the seminal book, Keywords Keywords — a vocabulary of culture and society, in which he analysed the use and meanings of over a hundred words such as anarchism,originality, genius and democracy. From March 27, 2013, Iniva presents a programme of exhibitions, lectures, film and learning projects in partnership with Tate Liverpool, expanding Williams’ studies of words into three - dimensional form. Keywords draws on loans from Tate Collection and explores words through works of art. The works date from 1976 focusing on material from the 1980s and early 1990s, including a frieze commission by Luca Frei and Will Holder. Keywords Lectures examine terms such as Equality, Theory and Sex, and Keywords Investigations invites you to explore your own words as part of a 10 – week workshop series. Keywords continues at Tate Liverpool in 2014.
