Cultural Studies and the Politics of Intellectual Location CRITICAL HABITATIONS: CULTURAL STUDIES AND THE POLITICS OF INTELLECTUAL LOCATION Tania Lewis (M.A., B.A.Hons., Canterbury; MB.ChB., Otago, NZ) Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, March 2000 Department of English with Cultural Studies The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT Over the past four or so decades, a number of social transformations—including in particular the dramatic expansion of the tertiary education sector—have impacted significantly on the role and status of the intellectual in contemporary life. While the authority of the intellectual was once based on a claim to universality, the openly professionalised nature of contemporary intellectual life has thoroughly problematised such claims. Accordingly, the broadly representative role that so-called “public” intellectuals were once said to have played has increasingly been challenged by more “specific” models of intellectual practice, models that have emerged in particular out of new fields of knowledge such as cultural studies. While cultural conservatives have argued that this challenge marks the declining status of the intellectual in contemporary society, the emergence of a variety of “new” intellectual models linked to specific social and institutional formations suggests that, far from declining, concerns over the status and responsibility of the intellectual are ongoing. This thesis examines the complex relations between contemporary intellectual practices and social and cultural location. Focusing in particular on the field of cultural studies, I examine the careers and biographies of four intellectuals. In my introductory chapter I review the major theories of intellectual practice circulating within cultural studies and conclude that a new, more “located” approach to understanding intellectual practice is required. Putting this new approach to work, the first part of my thesis examines the personal and intellectual biography of the black British intellectual Stuart Hall and—using the trope of “diaspora”— positions him in relation to the field of British cultural studies. In part two I focus on the largely academically-situated intellectual practices of Lawrence Grossberg and Andrew Ross, two prominent American-based cultural studies practitioners. Taking them as exemplars of American cultural studies, a highly academicised and disciplined field, I place into question the common assumption that the institutionally-located intellectual lacks critical autonomy. In part three, I discuss the life and career of the Australian intellectual, Meaghan Morris, focusing on the transnational and trans-institutional genealogy of both Morris and the Sydney-based strand of cultural studies with which she is associated. Finally, I conclude the thesis with a brief postscript reiterating my argument for the increasing importance of a “comparative cosmopolitan” model of intellectualism—that is, an approach to intellectuals that is able to engage with both broad-based and transnational concerns while, at the same time, also acknowledging their responsibilities as a geographically and socially-situated group. DECLARATION This is to certify that i. the thesis comprises only my original work. ii. due acknowledgment has been made in the text to all other material used. iii. the thesis is less than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies, appendices and footnotes.

An Australian Postgraduate Award, as well as tutoring and research assistant work in the Department of English with Cultural Studies at the University of Melbourne, provided me with the financial support to undertake this PhD. My research was greatly enhanced by a number of generous travel grants from the Department of English with Cultural Studies, the Faculty of Arts, the School of Graduate Studies and the Ian Potter Foundation. A big thank you is due to Ken Ruthven whose insights into the vagaries of grant applications proved invaluable. The following people helped ameliorate and put into perspective the frustrations and isolation of thesis writing: Delia Falconer, Richard Harling, Eleanor Hogan, Michelle Landauer, Jane Landman, Philippa Moylan, Brigid Shadbolt, Felicity Van Rysbergen, Michael Burguieres, Amanda Claremont, Hilary Ericksen, Lisa Fletcher, Angus Gordon, Graham Jones, Lorien Kaye, Bethan Lewis, Ian Robertson and Vase Stojcevski. A major thank you must go to Ngaire Lewis without whose emotional and intellectual support I would never have got to this point. I also want to thank Meaghan Morris for her kind support, Lawrence Grossberg for his encouragement and for the extensive critical feedback he provided on the American cultural studies section of my thesis, and both Morris and Grossberg for allowing me to conduct extensive face-to-face interviews with each of them. I would also like to thank Andrew Ross for allowing me to interview him by phone. In terms of supervisory support, I want to thank Chris Healy for the extremely useful comments he gave me on my final draft, my primary supervisor Simon During for his open and pragmatic approach to the politics of thesis writing and David Bennett for his early input into my thesis. I am also indebted to the administrative staff in the Department of English with Cultural Studies, in particular Eileen Whittaker. My final thank you goes to my partner Brian Morris for his love, support and mutual enthusiasm for the affective pleasures in life.

In the world of academia, for instance, this process has been accompanied by a growing awareness of the problematic status of the

  • Understanding Richard Hoggart: a Pedagogy of Hope, First Edition
    BAILEY, CLARKE & WALTON BAILEY, ‘This is an engaging, informative and combative work. It is exactly what it says, a “critical introduction” that moves way beyond plain description of Hoggart’s life and works, showing the relevance (but also, sometimes, the limitations) of his work and constantly contextualizing it within debates in both cultural studies and the wider political field. It is extremely well rooted in the various relevant literatures but also adds much knowledge from new sources, particularly those contained in the Hoggart Archive. In every sense, it is a good advert for, and defence of, studying the humanities.’ Dave Russell, Leeds Metropolitan University ‘A fascinating and insightful analysis of a leading public intellectual, obsessive autobiographer, founder of a new academic discipline, and original cultural critic.’ James Curran, Goldsmiths, University of London U ‘The authors of Understanding Richard Hoggart highlight, with rigour and respect, NDERSTANDING RICHARD HOGGART the continuing relevance of Hoggart’s work to anyone with an interest in how the cultural landscape at once shapes, and is shaped by, our individual habits.’ Lynsey Hanley, journalist and author of ‘Estates: an Intimate History’ Richard Hoggart is regarded as one of the ‘inventors’ of cultural studies. His work traversed academic and social boundaries. With the resurgent interest in his work today, this is a timely re-evaluation of this foundational figure in cultural studies, a critical but friendly review of both Hoggart’s work and reputation. The authors use new archival sources to re-appraise Hoggart’s intellectual and ethical influence, arguing that most attacks on his positions have been misplaced and even malevolent, and urging his importance for today’s world.

    Reviews 185 Dennis Dworkin, Cultural Mamism in Postwar Britain: History, the New Left, and the Origins of Cultural Studies (Durham: Duke University Press, 1997). Ellen Meiksins Wood and John Bellamy Foster, Editors. In Defense of History: Marxism and the Postmodern Agenda (New York: Monthly Review Press, 1997). "[Bly contrast to earlier Marxisms," declares Fredric Jameson in his contribution to In Defense of History, "[tlhe Marxisms .. that emerge from the present system of late capitalism .. [will] appear to be more cultural in character." (181) What might this mean? Is it a helpful assessment? To comprehend the significance of an evolving "cultural Marxism" requires examination of two intertwined issues: The history and current character of Marxism's intellectual engagement with cultural theory, and the changing status of "cultural" practice within the capitalist political economy. The two books under review allow us to take up the first of these critical questions. Demis Dworkin provides a careful and relatively comprehensive assessment of cultural Marxism's emergence as a postwar British intellectual and political project, which developed around both history-writing and what came to be called cultural studies. Readings of texts by historians such as Edward Thompson, Eric Hobsbawm, Catherine Hall and Sheila Rowbotham, and by cultural analysts including Raymond Williams, Stuart Hall, and Angela McRobbie, are effectively interwoven with exegeses of environing political trends. The far-reaching theoretical debates about culture and society,

    Hall z Richard Hoggart, The Uses of Literacy 1 Beginnings 2 Beginnings Hall z Richard Hoggart, The Uses of Literacy 3 1 Richard Hoggart, The Uses of Literacy and the Cultural Turn Stuart Hall t is widely recognised that, without Richard Hoggart, there would have been no Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies. It isn’t always so widely I acknowledged that, without The Uses of Literacy, there would have been no Cultural Studies. In an early text, I called it one of Cultural Studies’ three ‘found- ing texts’ (Hall, 1980), and this is an opportunity to expand further on that judgement. The article therefore offers some reflections on the ‘moment’ of The Uses of Literacy – what early Cultural Studies learned from and owed, method- ologically, to the book; its connections with wider debates at the time and its formative role in what came to be known as ‘the cultural turn’. The latter phrase is the kind of clumsy abstraction Richard Hoggart would not be caught dead using, and there is no point elaborating on it conceptually here. It simply regis- ters an inescapable fact about what I called the growing ‘centrality of culture’ – the astonishing global expansion and sophistication of the cultural industries; culture’s growing significance for all aspects of social and economic life; its re- ordering effects on a variety of critical and intellectual discourses and disci- plines; its emergence as a primary and constitutive category of analysis and ‘the way in which culture creeps into every nook and crevice of contemporary social life, creating a proliferation of secondary environments, mediating everything’ (Hall, 1997: 215).

Indulgence in drug experiences, sex, communal activities, be-ins, sit-ins, demonstrations, riots, busts, trips with no destination in particular, not only gave subculture members a set of common experiences, but also opened up vast new capacities of self-hood for exploration.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/csci.126 RESEARCH Open Literacy: Helen of Troy, Richard Hoggart, Phonic Wars, Greta Thunberg John Hartley Curtin University, AU [email protected] Social media and videogames are often blamed for individual behavioural delinquency, but rarely praised for cultural creativity, social innovation, or helping us to form new social groups or work through new ideas. Videogames are now a political football, both in the US (where they’re blamed for gun crime) and in China (where they’re blamed for childhood myopia). Every new media form has grown up surrounded by those wanting to control it. Popular literacy has never been free and open. Popular novels and the press; cinema and TV; and more recently digital and social media, have all attracted the wrath of incumbent commercial, government or social interests. But in the era of open access, open science, open knowledge, what about open literacy? Can it be extended to whole populations, across demographic borders, at global scale, for purposeless but nevertheless pedagogic play, and for social innovation? Or will it, like predecessor forms, be dismissed as a delinquent waste of time or commodified instrument for profit, power and mass persuasion?

Of particular interest are the notions of `new ethnicities', `cultures of hybridity' and `diaspora'. These concepts are used as the basis for an empirical study attempting to show how they might be realised at the level of ordinary everyday life. The research informants are a group of 30 male and female adolescents (The Blackhill youth) of mainly South Asian descent in a secondary school in the western suburbs of London.

  • British Cultural Studies: an Introduction, Third Edition
    British Cultural Studies British Cultural Studies is a comprehensive introduction to the British tradition of cultural studies. Graeme Turner offers an accessible overview of the central themes that have informed British cultural studies: language, semiotics, Marxism and ideology, individualism, subjectivity and discourse. Beginning with a history of cultural studies, Turner discusses the work of such pioneers as Raymond Williams, Richard Hoggart, E. P. Thompson, Stuart Hall and the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies. He then explores the central theorists and categories of British cultural studies: texts and contexts; audience; everyday life; ideology; politics, gender and race. The third edition of this successful text has been fully revised and updated to include: • applying the principles of cultural studies and how to read a text • an overview of recent ethnographic studies • a discussion of anthropological theories of consumption • questions of identity and new ethnicities • how to do cultural studies, and an evaluation of recent research method- ologies • a fully updated and comprehensive bibliography. Graeme Turner is Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Queensland. He is the editor of The Film Cultures Reader and author of Film as Social Practice, 3rd edition, both published by Routledge.
