Descripción
Sumario:The objective of this paper is to highlight the deeply subversive character, on both the theoretical and political-ideological planes, of Louis Althusser’s article “Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses.” The analysis proceeds by examining some continuities in the Althusserian approach to ideology and, within that approach, relevant innovations.
