Louis Althusser's renowned short text "Ideology and Ideological
State Apparatuses" radically transformed the concept of the
subject, the understanding of the state and even the very
frameworks of cultural, political and literary theory. The text has
influenced thinkers such as Judith Butler, Ernesto Laclau and
Slavoj Zizek. The piece is, in fact, an extract from a much longer
book, On the Reproduction of Capitalism, until now unavailable in
English. Its publication makes possible a reappraisal of seminal
Althusserian texts already available in English, their place in
Althusser's oeuvre and the relevance of his ideas for contemporary
theory. On the Reproduction of Capitalism develops Althusser's
conception of historical materialism, outlining the conditions of
reproduction in capitalist society and the revolutionary struggle
for its overthrow. Written in the afterglow of May 1968, the text
addresses a question that continues to haunt us today: in a society
that proclaims its attachment to the ideals of liberty and
equality, why do we witness the ever-renewed reproduction of
relations of domination? Both a conceptually innovative text and a
key theoretical tool for activists, On the Reproduction of
Capitalism is an essential addition to the corpus of the
twentieth-century Left.
