The Floating Signifier

October 23, 2017

"Race is a signifier which can be linked to other signifiers in a representation. Its meaning is relational and it is constantly subject to redefinition in different cultures, different moments. There is always a certain sliding of meaning, always something left unsaid about race

Hence: Race is a floating signifier"

Stuart Hall
