6th Annual Stuart Hall Public Conversation

The Stuart Hall Foundation welcomes renowned public intellectual Jacqueline Rose to Conway Hall for their 6th Annual Public Conversation, inviting us to think about the connections between politics and the psyche. She will deliver a lecture entitled ‘What is a Subject? Politics and Psyche After Stuart  Hall’.

Stuart Hall’s work can be read as a perpetual searching, however difficult or painful, for the linchpins which entangle intimate personal history to global political relations. It is through this approach to reading Hall that Rose began to realise how deeply embedded his work was within psychoanalytical thought. In this lecture, Rose will track the key aspects of Hall’s thinking, and ask how, through its prism, he might have reached out to some of the most anguished political and cultural realities of our current times.

Following Rose’s keynote and a brief intermission, she will be in conversation with psychotherapist, Sharon Numa and then an extensive Q&A with the audience.
