Abstract

This is an amended version of a paper presented in a panel discussion following the screening of The Stuart Hall Project (a new film by John Akomfrah) at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff, Wales, in September 2013. It discusses six key features of Hall’s life and work: (1) a conception of intellectual work as serious, (2) a commitment to public engagement, (3) a commitment to collaboration as a mode of intellectual production, (4) long-term engagements with artists (especially Black British artists), (5) a commitment to practices of humility, and (6) a critical-intellectual stance that is simultaneously optimistic and pessimistic.
