  • This is abrief discussion of the concept of interpellation, as theorized by the French Philosopher Louis Althusser.
    Althusser. "Lenin and Philosophy and Other Essays."
    You can find a good discussion of Althusser's theorization of ideology in my following book:
    Raja. "ISIS: Ideology, Symbolics and Counter Narratives." amzn.to/3fIFu2K

    What is Postcolonialism:
    Since I claim to be a postcolonialism scholar, I think it is apt to include a brief description of my field of study. In my view, Postcolonialism ( also written as Post Colonialism or Post-Colonialism) is a dynamic field of literary study that focuses on the history of colonialism and native responses to the colonial policies and life after colonialism formally ends. The field of postcolonialism also offers insights into the literature and culture of the the former European colonies and their struggles after the end of colonialism.

    Woa! thank you for your quick response. I think it's much clearer now, your example with different individuals has helped. I guess interpelation would be related to a kind of 'role' that the individual is supposed to play in a given ideology where he/she is immersed. Something that we interiorise most unconciously and informs us of our position, even agency, in our society. Therefore, when we are hailed by an authority we answer accordingly by assuming such role. Right?

    • @masoodraja
      @masoodraja  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      You are welcome. Yes, it sort of reminds us of our sense of self within a given ideology, especially since there is no outside to ideology according to Althusser.

    Like others, I appreciate the explanation! The sources my professor gave me on "What did Althusser mean by interpellation?" were a muddle I ended up doing my own research on the term. Thank you!
    (I know you say that it's your own understanding and it may be incorrect, but connecting your video to my readings, I think you interpreted it well)

    Thank you, Dr. Raja. In some ways, interpellation sounds similar to Crenshaw's Intersectionality and researcher positionality. What are the differences as you understand them?

    • @masoodraja
      @masoodraja  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you. I would say interpolation is probably more general as it forces us to think of our own subjectivity at the moment if the hail itself. Crenshaw’s is more about how subjectivities are formed.

    • @masoodraja
      @masoodraja  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you. In my understanding it is about an individual subject and their response to an act of hailing by power but the subject is in the world and that world shapes it but there are other better terms for it like socialization etc.

    • @heidimarchant9284
      @heidimarchant9284 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Maybe you can think of us as hailed or interpellated as consumers, as entrepreneurs, rather than citizens or political subjects (since most media is consumption oriented). And we begin to think of ourselves as 'individuals', as consumers, rather than citizens with political duties or capacities, and we act accordingly, for example we 'buy ethically' rather than protest or do some kind of collective political action to end deforestation, slave labour.
