Towards a New Reading of Althusser -- First encounters: art against ideology -- Towards a theory of the materiality of art -- Macherey's intervention -- Rethinking the concept of ideology -- Some Concepts -- The concept of history from Hegel to structuralism -- Humanism -- Ideology -- Creation/production -- Symptomatic reading -- Philosophy as intervention -- Wild crowds, savage movements: Heart of Darkness and the rise of International Socialism -- Robinson Crusoe and the drama of interpellation -- The Future Lasts Forever: Althusser after Althusser -- Louis Althusser "On Brecht and Marx" -- A political theater -- Smothering the voice of politics -- The party position -- The end of identification -- Theater and the risk of fire.
"Louis Althusser is the first major overview of Althusser's work since the publication in French of thousands of pages of essays, books and letters unknown before 1990, and makes a strong case for a radical reconsideration of his work in the light of this new material. Focusing particularly on Althusser's writings on art, theater and literature (as well as those of Althusser's collaborator, Pierre Macherey), Warren Montag traces the contradictory development of Althusser's thought from the early 1960s to his autobiography. Additional material includes an annotated bibliography of texts by and on Althusser; and the book also features a previously untranslated essay by the theorist on Brecht and Marx."--BOOK JACKET.
