Althusser’s essay “The ‘Piccolo Teatro’”, a Marxist interpretation of a French play, is a brilliant essay. A wonderful discussion of theater and the use of the play’s structure as an element of the story itself. A critique of media and its role in propagating pacifying, non-revolutionary ideology. And a wonderful summation of Althusser’s reading of Marx and Hegel.
