THIS EVENT IS PART OF A SERIES OF SYMPOSIA, SEMINARS AND LECTURES, EXPLORING THE ‘PRESENT CONJUNCTURE’ THROUGHOUT JUNE.
Part of the June programme of events hosted by the Stuart Hall Archive Project, examining politics and the conjuncture in 2024. Jordan T. Camp will discuss how we might begin analysis of politics in the US today, through an engagement with Stuart Hall’s readings of Gramsci and political writings on authoritarian populism, conjunctural crisis, and hegemony.
