36. How are conditions and relations of
production being reproduced and
maintained is society?
Two Types of Mechanisms:
• repressive state apparatuses - police, army, prisons, courts etc.
• ideological state apparatuses - sustained by cultural (education system, the
church, the family, media and culture)
- gain free willed cooperation and a sense of
choice of what is in reality imposed.

apparatuses operate together by combining repression and
ideology

- the action or process of suppressing a thought or desire in
oneself so that it remains unconscious

1. ideology has no history
2. ideology operates people

existence.

Notas del editor
TableWerethe first to construct raised beds to avoid drafts, pests and the general dirt that accompanied sleeping on the floor. However, these luxury constructs were available primarily to the wealthy, leaving the poor population to sleep on piled palm leaves and wait for mattresses to be invented.ChairThis was actually a chair that Tutankhamun sat in it has his name on it it has several titles, and it has some things in it that would tell us that, aside from the name, it did belong to a king. The emblems that you see between the legs in both the front and back are actually hieroglyphs, and they spell out the phrase “the one who unites the land of Upper and Lower Egypt” – the north and south of Egypt. the legs take the shape of animal’s feet the very back of them have a prestigio claw called a duclaw, which is very similar to the kind that do occur on felines and also canines. The back legs do not, and you might think at first that the Egyptians messed up here, but in fact they did not. Animals only have them in the front legs and so the chairs with these animal-like legs only have the declaws in front as well.TableMost of the tables were short like a coffee table -Egyptians sat on the floor when they ate and may have used the table but not necessarily. -Often tables were used just to keep things off the floor or offer foods to their deceased relatives.
ChestA very elaborated Renaissance chest with figures, a so called "beeldenkist" with a drawer. It was made in Northern Netherlands, Holland, Amsterdam. It is decorated on the styles with the personifications of the Virtues: Faith, Love and Hope. The carving in the panels is about the life of John the Baptist. Between the legs in the plinth there is the drawer. Only 5 Dutch chest with figures have survived in the world, one is in the Rijksmuseum and a second one is in the Amsterdam Historic Museum.
In the 17th century furniture was mostly wooden and had ornate legs with paw or claw-like feet. Drawer pulls or handles became more intricate in design. Chair seats took on a variety of shapes and styles from circular to octagonal, and plain carved wood to embroidered cushions.
Rocking chairs were the biggest addition to furniture in this era. Historically they are known as the "American Chair." Chippendale furniture rose in popularity during this time, starting with Chippendale cabinetry. Neoclassic furniture also emerged in this century, imitating the style of Greek and Roman furniture.Rocking Chair -skates were sometimes applied to existing chairs, converting them to rockers. -for example this yorkshire chair dates back to 1630,but only 80 years later (ca.1710) curved blades were mounted on the legs.Chippendale FurnitureAmerican furniture crafted in the Chippendale style from about 1750-1780 was named after London cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale's work. Chippendale Style Legs: cabriole legs (the curving design)Chippendale Style Feet: Claw-and-ball-footWood The finest Chippendale style pieces were usually crafted from mahogany. Walnut, cherry and maple were used for less expensive furniture made in this style.

(1) Louis Althusser was a French Marxist philosopher(2) He was born in Algeria and (3) studied at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, (4) where he eventually became Professor of Philosophy.(5) Althusser was a longtime member—although sometimes a strong critic—of the French Communist Party. (6) Althusser's life was marked by periods of intense mental illness. (7) accidentally murdered his wife by strangling her(8) he died of a heart attack at the mental hospital on October 22 1990 after having led a professionally successful life.
In "Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses" Louis Althusser asks the traditional Marxist question of how are conditions and relations of production being reproduced and maintained is society. Althusser's answer is that two types of mechanisms are at play here: "repressive state apparatuses which gain abidance and cooperation from the public through physical coercion means such as the police, army, prisons, courts etc. the other type of mechanism Althusser notes are the "ideological state apparatuses". Althusser's starting issue was 'how does capitalism reproduce itself?' Althusser saw a weakness in Marx's account of the pyramid of capitalism. Althusser saw that capitalism is inherently exploitative, so how do those at the bottom of the pyramid STAY at the bottom? Althusser's solution was that class is NOT inherent, but culturally produced, and our desires, beliefs, behaviours and preferences are products of ideology. Althusser says that ideology controls us through Repressive State Apparatuses and Ideological State Apparatuses. Examples of RSAs are government, administration, army, police, courts, prisons etc. They are primarily public, and occasionally violent. Ideological State Appartuses include education, religion, family, legal system, political system, culture, mass media, trade unions, which he says are primarily private.

Ideological State Apparatuses include education, religion, family, legal system, political system, culture, mass media, trade unions, which he says are primarily private.
Althusser holds that both repressive state apparatuses and ideological state apparatuses operate together by combining repression and ideology, with the difference between them being the different nature of their workings. From here Althusser turns to defining the concept of ideology, dominant in the ideological state apparatuses, which serves to perpetuate class subordination and exploitative relations of production over generations.
Althusser says that an ideology always exists in an apparatus, and that while ideology in general has no history, specific ideologies have a history of their own.
Althusser's ideological state apparatuses work through material practices which interpolates individuals into subjects of ideology. This action is enables by the existence of a unique and total Subject (in religion: god). This can be understood through the role Althusser grants to his concept of double specularity in ideology, double specularity being a doubled mirror effect.

This can be understood through the role Althusser grants to his concept of double specularity in ideology, double specularity being a doubled mirror effect.Ideology is the greatest material power, and thus expands the traditional Marxist view that sees economy as the ultimate power of the capitalist.
The structure of ideology for Althusser is a centered one with the subject in its middle and society around him in a way the assures all concerned that indeed they are who they are and he is who he is. In other words, ideology and ideological state apparatuses work as a double mirror in that that they first establish the individual's relation to the reality of his life and then certify that this is really the way things are and could not be otherwise. In this manner ideology gets people to operate on their own free will.
All his works: Marxisim and Literary Criticism , Ideology and Aesthetic , Literary Theory and Why marxisim is right.His a catholic but then nag ka conflict then na realized niya that his solely marxism
Point1: His Marxist perspective is clearly seen in his writingsPoint 2: one of his book ends up about political criticism( etoung state mismoung nag criticised. Like they affect the conceptualization thinking or society’s aethetic). Since nag aagreesyasa communist dibaung communist ung state langung nag lead and iba should be equal so the political forces are nasusunod and could influence others concepts.)

Philippe Starck is a legend of modern design. He's known for his luxurious hotels and boites around the world -- notably the Peninsula Hotel restaurant in Hong Kong, the Teatron in Mexico, the Hotel Delano in Miami, the Mondrian in Los Angeles, the Asia de Cuba restaurant in New York -- designing the total environment from layout to furniture to linens.But he has made perhaps his most permanent mark on design through his bold reworkings of everyday objects. In reimagining and rethinking the quotidian, he has produced some of the iconic shapes of the 20th century, including his leggy chrome juice squeezer , the reimagined Emeco aluminum chairs, and the witty Louis Ghost polycarbonate fauteuil.When Starck turns his bold vision toward a chair, a shoe, a toothbrush, it's clear he thinks deeper than the glossy surface.
