Description
Jacques Rancière's Althusser's Lesson explores the complex relationship between the return to order and the enthusiasm surrounding Althusserian Marxism in the aftermath of May 68. In this work, Rancière examines how theories of subversion became linked to the rationale for order, tracing the emergence of militant student movements, the arrival of Maoism in France, and the rearrangement of intellectual and social landscapes following the events of May 68. Through a genealogy of Althusserianism, Rancière sheds light on the transformations that took place within French intellectual and political circles during this period.
