Date: Sat, 30 Jul 1994 07:51:07 -0400 (EDT) From: Philip Goldstein <pgold-AT-strauss.udel.edu> Subject: Re: Method, materialism John Beasley-Murray: Why define materialism as non-discursive? What Marxists have learned from Althusser and from Foucault is that discourse, embedded in institutions which reproduce it, is, as a consequence, a material force. If one must learn English or history to get a high school degree and, as a result, be a genuine person in our culture, English or history is a material force.
