Researching Contemporary Culture: Public Practices
‘Post-Crash Theory and Practice’
Professor Gary Hall (Coventry)Dr Clare Birchall (King’s College
London)
‘I think culture really lags behind politics. I think particularly music
it’s really glaring—there just doesn’t seem to be any music which has
substantially grasped the new mood after 2010 really... It seems to me to be a major disjunction between the
political situation and cultural forms. The cultural forms that
dominate still seem to be so pre-2008 actually.’
- Mark Fisher, ‘Towards a New Hegemony’, New Left Project (2012)
