Stuart Hall, the British multicultural question and the case of western jihadi brides
This article explores Stuart Hall’s approach to what he calls the ‘multicultural question’. It identifies what we can take forward from Hall’s work by bringing a productive and politically useful form of Cultural Studies to bear on multi-ethnic societies that are riven by problematic and sometimes violent responses to difference. In the light of Hall’s practice of thinking theory in relation to specific social issues and theorizing through case s…

Identity, Difference and Social Cohesion in Contemporary Britain
This paper looks at questions of Britishness, identity and difference that have arisen as the UK has changed over the last 65 years, drawing on a range of source materials from the social, political and cultural spheres. It considers how racism and white ethnocentrism have helped shape both public debate and British black and South Asian experience as depicted in popular culture, literature and film, emphasising the role of this cultural practice…
Identity and culture
Where does our sense of identity and belonging come from? How does culture produce and challenge identities? Identity and Culture looks at how different cultural narratives and practices work to constitute identity for individuals and groups in multi-ethnic, 'postcolonial' societies. It uses examples from history, politics, fiction and the visual to examine the social power relations that create subject positions and forms of identity. It analyse…
Feminism, theory, and the politics of difference
'Difference' is a key term in contemporary feminism. Since the 1700s women have been concerned with how they are seen as different from men and the social consequences of such assumed and actual differences. Where as early second-wave feminism stressed women's shared oppression and sisterhood, more recent feminism has stressed difference - of class, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and age. Feminism, Theory and the Politics of Difference looks…

Making a Difference
Feminist scholarship employs gender as a fundamental organizing category of human experience, holding two related premises: men and women have different perceptions or experiences in the same contexts, the male perspective having been dominant in fields of knowledge; and that gender is not a natural fact but a social construct, a subject to study in any humanistic discipline. This challenging collection of essays by prominent feminist literary cr…
Feminist practice and poststructuralist theory
Argues that feminism depends for its effectiveness on an alliance of theory and practice. Making the case that poststructuralism is the theory with the most explanatory and practical relevance to feminism, the author examines the possibilities for a feminist practice
