Cultural categories, fantasies, and identities become part of the production of politics: places for persuasion, for constituting new ways of seeing, for establishing new joint interests, for creating new strategic alliances. Stuart Hall argues that by proliferating sites of power, modern capitalism creates more fields of social antagonism (1987, 20), opening new sites for argument.
