Jacques Ranciere's first major work, Althusser's Lesson appeared in
1974, just as the energies of May 68 were losing ground to the
calls for a return to order. Ranciere's analysis of Althusserian
Marxism unfolds against this background: what is the relationship
between the return to order and the enthusiasm which greeted the
publication of Althusser's Reply to John Lewis in 1973? How to
explain the rehabilitation of a philosophy that had been declared
'dead and buried on the barricades of May 68'? What had changed?
The answer to this question takes the form of a genealogy of
Althusserianism that is, simultaneously, an account of the
emergence of militant student movements in the '60s, of the arrival
of Maoism in France, and of how May 68 rearranged all the pieces
anew. Encompassing the book's distinctive combination of
theoretical analysis and historical description is a question that
has guided Ranciere's thought ever since: how do theories of
subversion become the rationale for order?
