Most readers of Louis Althusser first enter his work through his
writings on ideology. In an important new essay Etienne Balibar,
friend and colleague of Althusser, offers an original reading of
Althusser's idea of ideology, drawing on both recently published
posthumous writing and Althusser's work on the Piccolo Teatro di
Milano. Balibar's essay uncovers the intricate workings of
interpellation through Althusser's essays on the theater. If
debates on dialectical materialism belong to a distant history,
Balibar suggests, the question of ideology remains crucial for
thinking the present. The issue includes commentaries on Balibar's
essay from five influential scholars who engage critically with
Althusser's philosophy: Judith Butler, Banu Bargu, Adi Ophir,
Warren Montag, and Bruce Robbins. This issue reanimates Althusser's
concept of ideology as an analytic tool for contemporary cultural
and political critique.
