Conversations Unfinished—in the company of Stuart Hall

In this chapter, I take a closer look at Hall’s transversal praxis—his ways of partially inhabiting, moving across, mixing-up and ultimately queering different disciplinary and geo-social spaces. In many ways it is a creolizing practice, self-consciously capturing as well as being marked by double inscription, holding what Ien Ang has identified in Hall as an “existential unsettledness of identity” (2016, 30). The unsettledness that Ang diagnoses is one that conjures the institutional and the embodied aspects of Hall’s life as a postcolonial intellectual.
