Stuart Hall conceptualized his time at the Centre for Contemporary
Cultural Studies as a series of interruptions. It was this fluidity
that gave rise to Hall's conception of cultural studies as a
'moving target', a fusion of a range of disciplinary approaches
that was uniquely influenced by politics in the world beyond the
academy. The political commitments of those at the Centre were
wide-ranging and, from its embrace of collective ways of research
and decision-making to its deployment of various strands of
European Marxist theory, had a critical impact on the Centre's
working practices. Yet as the diverse work of many of these same
scholars has shown, the political climate of the present-day is
almost unrecognizable from that of the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s,
arguably the most productive period in the Centre's history.
Cultural Studies 50 Years On explores how the political, social and
cultural contexts of the early 21st century influenced the object
and method of doing cultural studies. In bringing together a
historical reassessment of the Centre with present-day questions
regarding the future of the field the aim is not to reduce cultural
studies to the work of a single, now-defunct institution. Instead
it aims to utilize what is a critical moment in the trajectory of
the field in order to take stock of where it has come from and to
explore where it might be going.
