In it, French philosopher Louis Althusser reaffirms his theoretical affiliation and makes innovative contributions to the study of ideology, deepening the understanding of the domination of the state and the ruling classes over workers. His text influenced important intellectuals such as Judith Butler, Ernesto Laclau, and Slavoj Žižek.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this book, Althusser starts from the premise that, if a capitalist society depends on certain conditions of production to exist, it is necessary to reproduce these conditions ad infinitum. As it stands, the state's management of the economy not only allows for the exploitation inherent in the class struggle but also provides the means to maintain this exploitation. Revisiting the Marxist notion that the state is a repressive machine that ensures the extortion of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie, Althusser chooses to differentiate between state power and the state apparatus, distinguishing in the latter a repressive bias (a traditional Marxist approach) and also an ideological bias. Thus, he develops a category of institutionalization of the ideology necessary for the state to guarantee the maintenance of the current order. These apparatuses go beyond the use of force; not that the latter becomes dispensable, but also without configuring it as the sole factor of control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this dynamic, the worker is born and renewed as a workforce, always coexisting with the ideologies that educate them to reproduce the status quo—the central figure of the School stands out here—and that justify their position in the material world order. These devices form a self-reinforcing system: they instill their roots in the lives of individuals and, in doing so, shape their subjectivities, creating an intricate relationship of domination and subjection.

In this sense, the panorama of trends outlined by Lyotard had been developing, at the level of the basic conditions for the production of knowledge and technology, since the scientific leaps that occurred at the turn of the 19th century. The interpretative framework developed in \u003cem\u003e*The Postmodern Condition*\u003c\/em\u003e is faithful to the essence of Hegelian-Marxist historical dialectics. That is, it analyzes how a succession of small quantitative transformations ultimately determines a qualitative leap, a change of era—from the modern to the postmodern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis edition brings a significant new feature: It corrects the title, reestablishing strict correspondence with the original. Lyotard wrote a book about the postmodern condition, not about the \"postmodern.\" In the 1980s, speaking of \"postmodern\" as something ready-made and finished was a symptom of a fetishistic, \"New Age\" approach that completely contradicted the spirit of Lyotard's text. The philosopher was deeply irritated by this type of appropriation of his thought, quite common among North American \"postmodernist\" intellectuals. Much of what Lyotard wrote later on the subject was intended to demarcate his own position. He was never an apologist for postmodernity. On the contrary, over time, he became one of its most furious critics, in the field of aesthetic questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003e*The Postmodern Condition\u003c\/em\u003e *, Lyotard sought to expose, in a primarily descriptive manner, the objective assumptions that allowed us to speak of a radical transformation in the way knowledge is produced, distributed, and, above all, legitimized. Lyotard was always the most eclectic of the philosophers of 1968, but what emerges from these pages, far beyond Kantian and Marxist criticisms, is the skeptical and pragmatic perspective that has come to dominate much of Western thought in recent years. In \u003cem\u003e*The Postmodern Condition\u003c\/em\u003e *, this perspective translates into the famous thesis of the end of metanarratives of legitimization of knowledge and politics, which signifies the loss of attraction for the high-sounding ideals of classical modernity. Lyotard's version of contemporary pragmatism, however, was anything but conformist or liberal. By proposing what he called a general agonisticity of discourses, Lyotard remained faithful to his militant past, both in this and in all his books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\"Lyotard presciently concludes that knowledge in post-industrial society becomes the main bottleneck for the development of peripheral countries. Hence, it can be assumed, contrary to what is commonly heard among us, that the gap between developed and developing countries will tend to widen further in the future. To speak today of a single global economy is nothing more than a rather indiscreet way of legitimizing multiple and previously unsuspected forms of injustice.

Drawing on Hannah Arendt's notion of \"collective actions\" and updating her assertions about the role of the body in politics, Butler posits that embodied meetings, whether in person or not, imply the redefinition of public political space. \nThe body thus appears as a transitory political expression. Faced with the precariousness of life, with an increasingly savage, predatory, and barbaric system, bodies that reject this imposed pain gather in assemblies, in public demonstrations, and engage in struggle. They become visible amidst a political field that conceals suffering and hides the bodies that suffer.

It originates from the Renaissance, when the Italian language was gradually separating itself from its mother tongue, Latin, and from the barbarisms introduced into it during the Middle Ages. The Prince separated political norms from theological concepts to transform them into simple fruits of direct, everyday observation, considering the art of governing from an exclusively objective and calculated perspective. Its author recorded what sovereigns did, not what they should have done. Machiavelli practiced a true scientific positivism in politics by basing it on experience and observation. He studied the emergence of political forms, the internal and external causes of their decline, and sought to unravel the laws that, in both Antiquity and Modernity, determined their birth and decline. The Prince is considered the seminal work of political science and a classic of the Italian language. The author Nicoló Di Bernardo Dei Machiavelli was born in Florence on May 3, 1496. A disciple of the man of letters Marcello Virgilio Adriani, he began his education in public affairs with him in 1494, while Charles VIII invaded Florence and expelled the Medici. That year, Machiavelli was appointed, under Adriani's orders, clerk in the second chancellery. In 1498, Adriani assumed the role of chancellor of the republic, and Machiavelli was promoted to second chancellor, a position he held for 14 years. His life during this period was extremely active, carrying out missions in Italy, France, and Germany. In 1512, the Medici returned to Florence, and Machiavelli was deposed, arrested, and sentenced to live in exile. He was granted amnesty in 1519, when he returned to his hometown and began exercising political and military functions. He died poor and bitter in the same city where he was born, on June 22, 1527.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159402365180,"sku":"9788574320502","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/c1d0ba116444c97f599280327400d2a4_a1100cd4-6cb6-4b8e-850f-b58cc9f32b52.jpg?v=1778324732"},{"product_id":"diante-da-crise","title":"Facing the crisis","description":"Luc Ferry presents an analysis carried out in conjunction with the Council for the Analysis of Society, at the request of the Prime Minister of France, following the last economic crisis that occurred on the planet.\n\n In his blockbuster, Ferry presents answers to the following questions: What has changed over the decades?
