Autorenporträt
Stuart Hall, geboren 1932, britischer Soziologe, ist der Begründer der weltweit gelehrten Cultural Studies. Für ihn muss Theorie im Befreiungsinteresse politisch eingreifend sein. Er befasst sich mit Kultur und kultureller Identität in der heutigen Zeit und berührt damit zwangsläufig Fragen der Macht.
