The final day of the Stuart Hall Archive Project/POLSIS hosted series on conjunctural analysis and politics in 2024. This one day symposium examines the consequences (for analysis and political praxis) of international forces of imperialism and neo-colonialism, and global forces such as the climate crisis.
Transplanting Hall’s conceptualization of the conjuncture to the domain of contemporary international politics forces us to ask new questions. Does mapping these new moments of crisis and contradiction require us to change our concepts, our objects of critique, or our methodological approach? What can we take from Hall’s pioneering work on the conjuncture and what might we need to rework in order to adequately grasp today’s political headwinds?
