This video isn't branding specific, but I think it's well worthwhile venturing outside of the branding bubble from time-to-time (at least). It's a clip of Stuart Hall in action at Goldsmiths College talking about representation and signification in the context of race. More generally, it encourages us to question taken-for-granted scientific truths and think about how meaning is socio-historically or culturally constructed. If inspired, then you may want to check out the MEF for more cultural and media goodies.

BLOG ETHOS
1. Everything is cultural (nothing can step outside of cultural representation)
2. Culture is the richest repository of innovation and brand development ideas
3. Inspiration exists in everything (cf. Paul Smith)
4. Branding is an art (but science can help)
5. Strategy cannot be divorced from execution (overlook design at your peril)
6. Complex problems have simple, easy to understand, wrong answers (cf. HL Mencken)
7. Diversity and inconsistency keeps life interesting for people (thus everything about this blog is subject to change)
