Summary/Abstract: The main subject of this paper is Halls understanding of ideology.In order to explain this we will first elaborate his theoretical position and hisunderstanding of society as a complex totality of interconnected elements. In this part we will also show how Hall explains the relationship of culture to other elements of the social totality. His understanding of ideology will be divided into two sections: (1) the elaboration of its internal mechanism of operation and (2 )the elaboration of its effects. In the first part we will explain the relationship ofculture and ideology in his theory. Afterwards we will show some criticism of Halls understanding of ideology as well as some of the solutions to them that Hallprovides. In the end we will point to the epistemological problem of the relationship of his theory to the criteria of scientific objectivity as a contradiction that he doesn’tmanage to solve.
