Xiaofan Yang Week 5

 1: As scholars from diverse cultural backgrounds, how do we conduct cultural studies? In the interview between Chen and Hall, Hall mentioned his dissatisfaction with the identity imposed by his parents during his adolescence and how, 50 years later, he was finally able to write in a personal manner and occupy a space he couldn't before. Is his struggle with the identity imposed by his family an organic crisis? How can his experiences and understanding of class be applied to other contexts?

2: In Morley's writing, what does it mean to juggle between "the textualizing tendencies of literary versions of cultural studies and the deterministic or essentialist tendencies of the more socio-science-based alternatives (p.246)"?
