In this joint interview, Anamik Saha and Maxime Cervulle discuss their respective acts of scholarship. Their research shares a common root in British Cultural Studies, particularly in the foundational work of Stuart Hall. Based on distinct case studies and research trajectories in two different academic contexts, each scholar has offered essential contributions to the study of how race configures the contemporary cultural industries. Their exchange particularly homes in on how to grasp the relationship between race and popular culture in the current conjuncture, and defends a view of research as a political intervention within a situated power dynamic.
