Hall’s conjunctural method treats class, race, gender, and politics as mutually imbricated

Evidence

In this context, I am very conscious of how, in so many ways, it has long circled around the mutual imbrication of structures of class, race, ethnicity, gender, culture, and politics. Very frequently in these essays, although only one of those factors is given the declared central focus of attention, the articulation of that one with the other issues in play is central to the analysis. I would argue that the capacity to deal with the ensuing complexities of those multidimensional perspectives is constitutive of Stuart’s particular approach. Thus, even when he is ostensibly talking about class, he is always doing so from a diasporic perspective—because that experience was fundamental to his whole approach, as he explains in different essays in both these volumes. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 31
