Placing the work of Althusser, Rancière, Baudrillard, and Laruelle into dialogue, this book offers a useful starting point for understanding the demands and possibilities for ideological critique after the deconstruction of the subject. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith chapters devoted to each French theorist's critique, the book first examines the historical and political roots of Althusser's theory of ideology, then placing focus on Rancière's historiographic work in the following chapter. Coming hot on the heels of his blistering critique of his teacher, Althusser, in \u003ci\u003eAlthusser's Lesson\u003c\/i\u003e, Rancière argues that reformers' failure to \"interpellate\" or recruit workers was due to their work-centric attitude and failure to understand the workers' dreams of lives devoted to unwaged aesthetic and philosophical labour. The fifth chapter shows how Baudrillard disrupts Althusser's fundamental belief that ideology can be unmasked to reveal true structures, by exposing how a society of simulation realizes the untrue by integrating it into the fabric of experience. Finally, Fardy explores how Laruelle calls into question Althusser's presumption that \"standard philosophy\" is sufficiently guarded against the lures of ideology. On the contrary, Laruelle suggests that this view is in fact that of the ideology of standard philosophy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShedding light on the continuing relevance of post-Althusserian Marxist thought, \u003ci\u003eIdeology and Interpellation\u003c\/i\u003e further demonstrates the need today for a rigorous theory of ideology, traces of which can be found in Althusser's legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Fardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350358959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350358959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.36d","brand":"Jonathan Fardy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48484969382143,"sku":"9781350358959","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7ab232f-912c-4939-885b-511d3b2a40eb.jpg?v=1778047041","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ideology-and-interpellation-jonathan-fardy-9781350358959","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
