About the Author

Hall, Stuart: - Stuart Hall was born and raised in Jamaica and arrived in Britain on a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford in 1950. In 1958, he left his PhD on Henry James to found the New Left Review, which did much to open a debate about immigration and the politics of identity. Along with Raymond Williams and Richard Hoggart he established the first Cultural Studies programme at a British university in Birmingham in 1964, bringing the study of popular culture into the understanding of political and social change.

After spending more than four decades as one of the UK's leading public intellectuals, Hall retired from formal academic life in 1997 and since then has continued to devote himself to questions of representation, creativity and difference. He became the chair of two foundations, Iniva, the Institute of International Visual Arts, and Autograph ABP, which seeks to promote photographers from culturally diverse backgrounds, and championed the opening of Iniva's new Rivington Place arts complex in east London in 2007.

Praise for this book

The publication of the 3rd edition of Stuart Hall's Representation comes at just the right time. Addressing recent social and political movements as well as theoretical developments in the humanities and social sciences, the editors and contributors of the new edition have done a superb job of recontextualizing Hall's landmark work for the now.--Sam Han
This new edition reminds us of the relevance of this book for our students. Embracing discussions of recent political events, and of new expressions of known forms of othering; and addressing digital modes of social connectivity and of media production and circulation, the volume revitalizes much needed dialogues about the aesthetics and politics of representation.--Domitilla Olivieri
Representation remains as timely as ever. A thorough and clear critique of media's role in shaping society and culture, sharply updated to address the complexities that surround representation in the digital age.--Myria Georgiou
This is a wonderfully updated classic text of sociology and cultural studies. Each contribution provides a succinct and lively engagement with the field. Stuart Hall′s lasting legacy is everywhere evident in his seminally important chapter.--Professor Angela McRobbie
