althusser ideology

They ‘recognize’ the existing state of affairs (das Bestehende), that ‘it really is true that it is so and not otherwise’, and that they must be obedient to God, to their conscience, to the priest, to de Gaulle, to the boss, to the engineer, that thou shalt ‘love thy neighbour as thyself’, etc. Dieser könne allerdings nicht als Staatsapparat bezeichnet werden, denn dessen primäre Aufgabe sei, die Massen der Menschen auszubeuten.

the relations of exploited to exploiters and exploiters to exploited, are largely reproduced.

The answer, since it is obvious, is "it's me". So schreibt er, dass der Klassenkampf das Primat gegenüber den Staatsapparaten, insbesondere den ISA besitze. Erstmals weltweit 1977 in deutscher Sprache abgedruckt, erschien die französische Fassung erst 1995 in dem Sammelband Sur la reproduction.[51]. In fact there is no ‘technical division’ of labour except in the ideology of the ruling class: every ‘technical’ division, every ‘technical’ organization of labour is the form and mask of a social (= class) division and organization of labour. It is in the internal mechanisms of these processes that the effect of the different ideologies is felt (above all the effect of legal-ethical ideology). As I noted in the beginning, a capitalist society needs to not only produce a steady stream of consumable goods and services that keep it running, but it needs to reproduce the very conditions that allowed it to produce these things in the first place. : Althusser, Louis: Ideologie und ideologische Staatsapparate, 1.

"[4], A critique of Althusser's concepts in this essay, and the more broad based Gramscian inspired turn in postwar Marxism since the Second World War has been provided by Vivek Chibber, arguing instead that 'resignation' is the driving force behind worker's lack of militancy during periods of capitalist dominance, de-emphasising the role placed on ideology by Althusser and like-minded academics. Marx utters it with respect to metaphysics, which, he says, has no more history than ethics (meaning also the other forms of ideology).

"[citation needed], Generally, Althusser's perspectives on ideology remain respected; in the Louis Althusser capsule biography, the Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism, 2nd. Hall, Stuart: Ideologie und Ökonomie. The repressive state apparatus (RSA) functions as a unified entity (an institution), unlike the ideological state apparatus (ISA), which is diverse in nature and plural in function. Marx and Althusser describe the way it does this in a two tiered structure: Their relationship looks something like this: The Infrastructure, or Base, includes all the materials, machines, and networks of labor that allow a capitalist society to produce goods, reproduce itself, and function generally. Next, RSAs belong to the public domain, ISAs to the private: in churches, homes, schools, etc. And yet it is a strange phenomenon, and one which cannot be explained solely by ‘guilt feelings’, despite the large numbers who ‘have something on their consciences’.

omnipresent in its immutable form throughout history (= the history of social formations containing social classes). God’s commandments; if it calls these individuals by their names, thus recognizing that they are always-already interpellated as subjects with a personal identity (to the extent that Pascal’s Christ says: ‘It is for you that I have shed this drop of my blood!’); if it interpellates them in such a way that the subject responds: ‘Yes, it really is me!’ if it obtains from them the recognition that they really do occupy the place it designates for them as theirs in the world, a fixed residence: ‘It really is me, I am here, a worker, a boss or a soldier!’ in this vale of tears; if it obtains from them the recognition of a destination (eternal life or damnation) according to the respect or contempt they show to ‘God’s Commandments’, Law become Love; — if everything does happen in this way (in the practices of the well-known rituals of baptism, confirmation, communion, confession and extreme unction, etc.
Somit sind nach Aussage Althussers sämtliche an der Produktion beteiligten Personen von der Ideologie auf die eine oder andere Weise durchdrungen, damit jeder seine Aufgabe übernehmen kann.[13]. I believe that the Ideological State Apparatus which has been installed in the dominant position in mature capitalist social formations as a result of a violent political and ideological class struggle against the old dominant Ideological State Apparatus, is the educational ideological apparatus. That is why I believe that I am justified in advancing the following Thesis, however precarious it is. If the ISAs ‘function’ massively and predominantly by ideology, what unifies their diversity is precisely this functioning, insofar as the ideology by which they function is always in fact unified, despite its diversity and its contradictions, beneath the ruling ideology, which is the ideology of ‘the ruling class’. [40], Für Althusser existiert jede einzelne Ideologie nur durch das Subjekt selbst. Die Kommunistische Internationale und der Faschismus, München 1973, S. 322 und Fußnote 416.

It is convenient to designate this new and remarkable Subject by writing Subject with a capital S to distinguish it from ordinary subjects, with a small s. It then emerges that the interpellation of individuals as subjects presupposes the ‘existence’ of a Unique and central Other Subject, in whose Name the religious ideology interpellates all individuals as subjects. Demzufolge sei der Staat ein repressiver Staatsapparat und damit eine repressive Ausführungs- und Interventionsmacht, die sich in den Händen der herrschenden Klasse befindet. It is therefore not an inversion or overturning (except in the sense in which one might say a government or a glass is overturned), but a reshuffle (of a non-ministerial type), a rather strange reshuffle, since we obtain the following result. Der Kampf müsse in den ISA selbst geführt stattfinden. Poulantzas, Nicos: Faschismus und Diktatur. Zudem sei es mit Althussers Überlegungen möglich, gegen das häufig ausgerufene Ende aller Ideologien zu argumentieren. According to Althusser, the obviousness that people (you and I) are subjects is an effect of ideology. Halbband, S. 765. the individual named Moses. (143). But this point of view is still an abstract one. Better: God needs men, the great Subject needs subjects, even in the terrible inversion of his image in them (when the subjects wallow in debauchery, i.e. If RSAs (in the last instance) utilize violence, how do Ideological State Apparatuses (ISAs) exercise State power? Yes, the subjects ‘work by themselves’. As a first formulation I shall say: all ideology hails or interpellates concrete individuals as concrete subjects, by the functioning of the category of the subject. The first answer (that of the eighteenth century) proposes a simple solution: Priests or Despots are responsible. Everything seems to lead Marx to formulate a theory of ideology. and the professional ideologists (priests of all sorts, most of whom are convinced ‘laymen’). [77] Althussers Theorem der Anrufung beruht laut Rehmann grundlegend auf der Psychoanalyse Jacques Lacans. This thesis may seem paradoxical, given that for everyone, i.e. Individuals within these institutions are trained in order that they internalize the ideas and values generated by these systems. those who control the social institutions as well as the means of production (the economic system, materials, and infrastructure that keep society running). Dem Klassenkampf käme nicht die ihm gebührende Stellung zu. 0000002078 00000 n

As an element of this process, the ISAs contribute to this reproduction. This thesis is simply a matter of making my last proposition explicit: there is no ideology except by the subject and for subjects. Althusser compares ideology to a policeman shouting "hey you" to a person walking in the street. nationalism, moralism and economism. Publishing and Communications, even, saw an indisputable development, as did the theatre; initially both were integral parts of the Church, then they became more and more independent of it.
Halbband, S. 113. Die Einheit der ISA sei hingegen nicht sofort ersichtlich; sie würden in der Mehrheit dem privaten Bereich zugehörig sein. Der Aufsatz IISA wurde zum ersten Mal 1971 in der DKP-nahen Studentenzeitschrift Facit in einer von dem Historiker Peter Schöttler angefertigten Übersetzung veröffentlicht. We can now claim that the unprecedentedly deep crisis which is now shaking the education system of so many States across the globe, often in conjunction with a crisis (already proclaimed in the Communist Manifesto) shaking the family system, takes on a political meaning, given that the School (and the School/Family couple) constitutes the dominant Ideological State Apparatus, the Apparatus playing a determinant part in the reproduction of the relations of production of a mode of production threatened in its existence by the world class struggle. Darüber befänden sich zwei Etagen – die Ideologie sowie das Juristisch-Politische, d. h. das Recht und der Staat. Through this distortion ideology acts on the world. that the author and the reader of these lines both live ‘spontaneously’ or ‘naturally’ in ideology in the sense in which I have said that ‘man is an ideological animal by nature’. But to recognize that we are subjects and that we function in the practical rituals of the most elementary everyday life (the hand-shake, the fact of calling you by your name, the fact of knowing, even if I do not know what it is, that you ‘have’ a name of your own, which means that you are recognized as a unique subject, etc.) 2006 Louis Althusser foi, nas décadas de 60 e 70 do século passado, um dos responsáveis – talvez o mais radical – pela inclusão, no campo marxista, de uma teorética que parecia that they constitute an illusion, we admit that they do make allusion to reality, and that they need only be ‘interpreted’ to discover the reality of the world behind their imaginary representation of that world (ideology = illusion/allusion). It is realized by the mechanisms of those processes, in which the training of the workers is ‘completed’, their posts assigned them, etc. Youtube. for all those who live in an ideological representation of ideology, which reduces ideology to ideas endowed by definition with a spiritual existence) from the ideas of the individual concerned, i.e. In fact RSAs and ISAs differ in that RSAs are unified under the government while the unity of ISAs is not visible⁠—they exist as a plurality.

Monthly Review Press, 1971. pp. : Althusser, Louis: Ideologie und ideologische Staatsapparate, 1. Nach Althusser gehören eine Reihe von verschiedenen Institutionen zu den ISA, welche er in einer nur empirischen Liste nennt: „- der religiöse ISA (das System der verschiedenen Kirchen), - der schulische ISA (das System der unterschiedlichen öffentlichen und privaten Schulen), - der familiäre ISA, - der juristische ISA, - der politische ISA (das politische System, zu dem die verschiedenen Parteien gehören), - der ISA der Interessensverbänden, - der ISA der Informationen (Presse, Radio, Fernsehen usw. [30], Die ISA können nicht nur in den Kämpfen der Klassen eingesetzt werden, sondern sind selbst als Orte zu sehen, in denen der Klassenkampf tobt. This is your place in the world! ‘believe’ in God, Duty, Justice, etc…. [72] IISA stelle eine Absage an all diejenigen Positionen dar, in denen Subjekte als die Träger einer kommenden freien Gesellschaftsform angesehen werden. Halbband, S. 109 f.

), the cultural ISA (literature, the arts, sports, etc.). Der RSA funktioniert laut Althusser in allererster Linie auf Grundlage der Anwendung von Repression und nur nachrangig erfolge ein Rückgriff auf die Ideologie. 22/23, Februar 1971, S. 43–56.
