The Media Education Foundation presents, for the first time on video, Stuart Hall in an illustrated video presentation that addresses representation and the central issues in cultural studies.

Hall's engaging presentation is enhanced by extensive use of section headings, visual examples and animated graphics making these landmark lectures accessible to a wide range of audiences - from undergraduates to professionals. One of the most significant and influential scholars in the development of media and cultural studies, Hall is also renowned as a gifted public speaker and teacher.

In Race, the Floating Signifier, Hall goes beyond the vast body of knowledge available on the effects of racism to help us understand the deeper questions about how race is represented. Hall shows that the meaning of racial signifiers (like skin color) are never fixed, but depend upon cultural context, or 'floating signifiers.'
