*   Stuart Hall, "On postmodernism and articulation," Stuart Hall: Critical Dialogues in Cultural Studies Eds. David Morley and Kuan-Hsing Chen. (New York, 1996) (1986), p. 141.  Hall's definition of articulation, while indebted to Ernesto Laclau, Politics and Ideology in Marxist Theory (London, 1977), specifically marks his differences with the postmarxist conception of articulation as later voiced in Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, Hegemony & Socialist Strategy: Toward a Radical Democratic Politics (London, 1985). Hall's disagreement with Laclau and Mouffe centers on their conceptualization of all cultural practices as discursive. "[Laclau and Mouffe think] that the world, social practice, is language, whereas I want to say that the social operates like a language. . . [They] have let slip the question of the historical forces which have produced the present, and which continue to function as constraints and determinations on discursive articulation." Hall, "On postmodernism and articulation," pp. 146-48.
