Description: The death of Louis Althusser and the posthumous publication of his controversial autobiographies have called for a reexamination of the extraordinary theses that, between 1965 and 1975, shaped the relations among the languages of philosophy, political practice, esthetics, and literary theory. This volume includes major essays by Etienne Balibar and Pierre Macherey, as well as articles that place their work and Althusser's in the context of its critical effects on the emerging problematics of cultural criticism and the affirmative deconstruction of such concepts as "class," "nation," and "race."
