- “Culturally we’re in the phase of permanent revolution.”
In 1989, the respected sociologist and cultural theorist Stuart Hall spoke to academic and broadcaster Michael Ignatieff on The Late Show about the implications of globalisation and the increasing complexity of identity politics. They then went on to discuss the idea of cultural relativism and complexity in defining what we truly value as people.
Clip taken from The Late Show, originally broadcast on BBC Two, Thursday 7 December, 1989.

Cool interview, it's illuminating when one finds description that are this early, from before globalization became such an omnipresent household word. (Ignatieff's own book, "The Russian Album" about his family history and the journey of his parents and grandparents from imperial Russia to Britain and Canada - his grandfather was a government minister under Nicholas II and they emigrated during the Russian Civil War - is also a very good memoir, illuminating and thoughtful).
Well done Stuart Hall. This is almost the 90's and showing that multi-culture is a good thing that we still fight for today.
The interviewer, Michael Ignatieff, later served as Canada's Leader of the Opposition. His successor as Liberal Party leader? Justin Trudeau.
Stuart Hall - lyrical speaker
Isn't it obvious the cultural effect of globalisation is a mono-culture i.e. everyone is the same and everyone has the same culture. And you could say that's really the death of culture. I'll leave you to decide whether that's a good thing or not. Personally it's not a world I'd want to live in.
It doesn’t seem the case to me. We can live amongst one another and still remain distinct.

I think there is enough proof now that multiculturalism does not work !
British culture was "REVERED" throughout the world and now it's "REVILED" for aggressive foreign cultures and beliefs.
(Just look at our "non British" capital city Brought to a stand still with foreign cultures shouting "JIHAD" !!!!!!!
We have gone from a "culture" that traditionally upheld the family unit to
"Cultures" that praise criminals, praise single parent families scrounging benefits. Praise incest. Praise female circumcision, praise pretty much everything EXCEPT WHITE BRITISH CULTURE !!!!
(I do agree about being "distinct" though. IT'S CALLED WHOLE NON INTEGRATED TOWNS AND CITIES).
It's sad. At the time of that production, no one would have thought the conversation, or the participants, to be particularly intelligent or eloquent, but in comparison with anything one might find today, they were quite so.
"but in comparison with anything one might find today, they were quite so."
Stuart Hall has always been a dignified intellectual
The rot had already set in by the late 1980s
Wise words
"The rot had already set in by the late 1980s"
I was born into an already globalised world and need only use my eyes to see how bad it is.
@@MattyFez that's my favourite way of seeing things too. Using my tiny eyes
@@MattyFez Whats bad?
I was taught by Stuart Hall in the late 60s / early 70s when, with Richard Hoggart, he set up the Centre For Contemporary Studies at Birmingham University. Looking back on those days, I realise that the 'long march through the institutions' was already well under way. We young innocents were not so much being (willingly) indoctrinated, as almost being groomed by a very suave and plausible Marxist. Hoggart's vaguely stated aim for the Centre was to bring to bear the sensibilities of literary criticism on aspects of contemporary culture. Hall's agenda was more subversive;
Cut to the present day - Academia is almost exclusively left-wing, the mission is to indoctrinate rather than educate, the baton of the Long March passed on to a new generation of clones incapable of independent thinking, fresh from courses with 'studies' in their names. Not just Contemporary Cultural Studies now, but also Gender Studies, Wimmins' Studies, Race Studies, Black Studies, Grievance Studies ......
