Gramsci writes about vast and powerful super structures, something we've already discussed a bunch. How does Altusair draw on Gramscien? And where does he innovate or contradict? Well, that's interesting. One is, I think he does, let's say, and remember, there's two halves to that Altusair argument. The other half of Altusair is really quite ungramscien, which is to say ideology not as a set of apparatuses, but as a psychic structure.
Featuring Michael Denning on Antonio Gramsci. The second of a two-part interview.
