When proposing his theory of articulation, Grossberg writes that he wants "to propose a theory for cultural studies which does not identify culture with communication, and which can describe the complexity of effects and relations circulating through and around culture...it will be concerned with particular configurations of practice, how they produce effects and how such effects are organized and deployed" (Grossberg 45). Having gone through the readings, I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around articulation. How would you define articulation in simpler terms?
"Race is thus, also, the modality in which class is 'lived', the medium through which class relations are experienced, the form in which it is appropriated and 'fought through'. This has consequences for the whole class, not specifically for its 'racially defined' segment" (Hall 341). Hall wrote the previous quote in 1980, a multitude of things have changed on both the national and international scale regarding class and race, does Hall's thinking remain true 40 years later?
