THE STUART HALL PROJECT

Bio Capitol Fredag 13 december

18-22 Institutionen för kulturvetenskaper bjuder in till öppen visning av dokumentären The Stuart Hall Project, som just haft premiär i Storbritannien. Soundtracket domineras av Halls musikaliske hjälte Miles Davis. Vår gästprofessor Jackie Stacey, som var doktorand på Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies i Birmingham (CCCS), introducerar filmen. Efter visningen leder Catharina Thörn en paneldiskussion där Jackie Stacey, Mikela Lundahl och Ove Sernhede medverkar. Kvällen avslutas sedan med mingel i Bio Capitols foajé. Stuart Hall is one of the most influential and esteemed cultural theorists of a generation. A thinker and commentator, his peers include other giants of political commentary such as Noam Chomsky, Susan Sontag, Alan Ginsberg, Michel Foucault and Gore Vidal.

John Akomfrah’s sweeping and majestic film THE STUART HALL PROJECT takes the viewer on a roller coaster ride through the upheavals, struggles and turning points that made the 20th century the century of campaigning, and of global political and cultural change. “In this absorbing documentary tribute, the pioneer of cultural studies comes across as a calm figure who insists on the fundamental topic of equality.” Peter Bradshaw - The Guardian
