In his piece Race, articulation and societies structured in dominance, Stuart Hall introduces the two dominant tendencies within the study of racially-structured societies. The first tendency called the ‘economic’ reduces social and racial relations and structures to be fully determined by economic relationships. The second tendency called the ‘sociological’, however, “correct[s] against the tendency of the first towards economic reductionism” (Hall 307) and introduces social and cultural determinants as the main elements forming race relations. Without considering the historical and social circumstances of a society, it is difficult to fully understand these formations. On the other hand, Hall argues that economic relations are still of considerable importance when analyzing the formation of racial structures within society. Therefore, Stuart Hall proceeds to analyze another framework, the ‘articulation of different modes of production’, as a way to understand race relations by taking into consideration the limits of the ‘economic’ and ‘sociological’ tendencies. He therefore looks at how elements (race, language, class, etc) are “joined up” during a particular historic moment. Using South Africa as a basis for his analysis, he argues that this specific case could not be fully explained by either tendency.

He therefore analyzes how the case of South Africa is a very specific type of capitalism, one whose origin resides in a colonial society. Stuart Hall’s theory of articulation is completely connected to the way the Caribbean is (re)presented in digital technologies, particularly the internet, today. As an example, I googled “Caribbean Blogs,” which led me to a website that listed the eight top. The second blog listed is. We are able to apply Hall’s articulation method to this blog by first observing the speaker, or the person (or people) doing the “articulation.” In this case, Ryan, a white male from Kansas is the writer and creator of the blog. Immediately, we can see that there is definitely a clear hierarchy here. The fact that he is white and male already puts him in a privileged position.

Furthermore, coming from Kansas, Ryan has a completely different view of what the Caribbean is and means than someone who was born and raised in the Caribbean, for instance. He is writing these blogs, ultimately, as a way to earn money, and he is in the privileged position that has allowed him to travel away from his home town (he mentions he has lived in “laid back” Southwest Florida) and have immediate access to the internet.
