In 1973, a brilliant critic named Stuart Hall created a diagram that changed the way we study media, and could help you survive this moment. Just dropped: the second letter in my series about how to analyze the media in a time of crisis. It's all about codes. https://buttondown.com/thehypothesis/archive/the-man-who-discovered-media-codes-and-how-to/ #media #stuarthall #mediastudies #discourse

Been reading Stuart Hall’s 1987 essay ‘Gramsci and Us’, on Thatcherism and the Left's struggle to expound an alternative to neoliberal hegemony; I think it raises some points for us 40 years later, in the brink of a new (/ the same ongoing) crisis.

Hall’s essay was originally published in Marxism Today 31.6 (June 1987). Verso have a free copy here (I haven’t checked if its identical): https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/blogs/news/2448-stuart-hall-gramsci-and-us

“I think a certain optimism is required. A pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will, Gramsci said. That means hard thought, hard graft, recognising what the world is like, recognising the way the terrain is set against you, and then remembering the openness of history, and seeing whether one can intervene”
