{"product_id":"louis-althusser-on-the-reproduction-of-capitalism-2014-paperback","title":"Louis Althusser: On the Reproduction of Capitalism [2014] paperback","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003eThe piece is, in fact, an extract from a much longer book, \u003ci\u003eOn the Reproduction of Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e,  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. \u003ci\u003eOn the Reproduction of Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e  develops Althusser's conception of historical materialism, outlining  the conditions of reproduction in capitalist society and the  revolutionary struggle for its overthrow.\u003cbr\u003eWritten 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, \u003ci\u003eOn the Reproduction of Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential addition to the corpus of the twentieth-century Left.","brand":"Althusser, Louis","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":53207542038867,"sku":"9781781681640","price":28.56,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/althusser-louis-louis-althusser-on-the-reproduction-of-capitalism-2014-paperback-9781781681640-1226688234.jpg?v=1773090309","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/louis-althusser-on-the-reproduction-of-capitalism-2014-paperback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
