英文摘要 |
This essay aims at elaborating on Louis Althusser’s analysis of social formation, developed in his writings during the period between the 1960s to the mid-1970s, with an emphasis on the questions of emergence, endurance and transformation. Following the foreword, the second part illustrates how Althusser manages to confront the Hegelian totality with his complex and uneven social whole via a series of categories such as overdetermination, structural causality, structure in domination, and determination in the last instance. The third part clarifies the ways in which Althusser proposes to address the question of ideology and subject within the problematic of the necessity of reproducing the relation of production in each social formation. The last part focuses on how Althusser brings "class struggle" back into his analysis of social formation and whether/how this constitutes a response to those charges against his static structuralism. |
