Two Types of Ideological Interpellation
Two Types of Ideological Interpellation

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a contribution to the theory of ideology based on Althusser’s idea of ideological interpellation. Ideological interpellation is conceptualised along a simplified re-elaboration of Oswald Ducrot’s treatment of Bakhtinian polyphony. The text distinguishes between interpellation by identification (reproductive) and interpellation by subjectivation (disruptive and eventually innovative, with reference to Rancière). Finally, the text attempts to describe the articulation between political and theoretical practices on the historical case of Lenin’s polemics against the “otzovism”.
