Before I forget, my favorite quote of this week's readings was from "Encoding/Decoding:"
Discursive 'knowledge' is the product not of the transparent representation of the 'real' in language but of the articulation of language on real relations and conditions.
My questions of the week:
1) Where is the code situated in discourse on questions of race, depending on culture? Where is whiteness situated on the code spectrum of race in the United States as compared to, say, Eastern Europe?
2) What is the parallel between Hall's dominant discursive paradigms and, say, Adorno & Horkheimer's culture industry?
