Gramsci and Althusser on Marxism

-

  Hello everyone!

 Literary Theory is an important aspect of English Literature as it directs ways to different approaches and insights to interpreting a text. Today, in this blog, I have shared an attachment on Marxism and its upgraded additions by Gramsci and Althusser such as "Formation of Intellectuals";  "Separation of Powers", "Civil Society", "Ideology", "Ideological State Apparatuses", "Repressive State Apparatuses", "Interpellation" and so on.


The PPT contains a detailed study crisply, all about "Understanding Marxism and its important aspects about Gramsci and Althusser". I hope this PPT guide will be a source of help and resourceful material to grasp the major insights of the theory given in the link below:

POETRY VS SCIENCE

-
 Sajida Parveen  • William Wordsworth, as a Romantic poet, in his Preface to lyrical Ballads, considers poetry to be superior to science. He shows that the scientist studies only the appearance of things while the poet investigates the inner reality of human soul. • Wordsworth recognizes that objections can be raised against poetry as a source of edification on the grounds that it is merely a source of amusement, a vehicle for pleasure rather than knowledge.

For example, an anatomist might work with distressing material but still derive pleasure from the understanding and insights gained.He says:"However painful may be the objects with which ...
