TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Reconciling Hall with discourse, written in the shadows of "Confederate" and Rainbow Flags JO - Critical studies in media communication A1 - Scott, D. Travers SP - 424 EP - 437 VL - 33 IS - 5 N2 - This essay addresses Stuart Hall and discourse theory, focusing on his essay Signification, representation, ideology. Reflecting upon recent events involving representation and identity US legalization of gay marriage, murders at a gay nightclub, removal of the Rebel Flag from the South Carolina state capitol, Donald Trump's presidential campaigns attempt to destabilize the counterproductive dualism of material/discourse in Hall's critique of poststructural discourse theory. Finding amenability between Hall and Foucaultian discourse theory, I describe Hall's utility for discourse scholars, such as his perspectives on ideological practices and generation of new discourses as an interventionist act.
