Document Summary
Stuart hall notes on deconstructing the popular in people"s history and socialist theory, Cultural change is polite euphemism for the process by which some cultural forms and practices are driven out of the centre of popular life, actively marginalized. One way or another, the people are frequently the object of reform: often for their own good. Transformation is the key to the long and protracted process of the moralization of the labouring class and demoralization of the poor and the education of the people. Popular culture is neither, in a pure sense, the popular traditions of resistance to these processes; nor is it the forms which are superimposed on and over them. Reconstruction of the terrain of political struggle itself. So many characteristic forms of what we now think of a transitional popular culture either emerge from or emerge in the distinctive modern form in that period.
