Subject: hegemony or class composition


So I'm curious--

Was my suggestion of a dichotomy between hegemony theory and theories of 
class composition so way off-base that no one wanted to deal with it, 
even to prove it wrong?  It does seem that both are trying to deal with 
much the same issues and topics in postwar society and affecting the 
contemporary left--indeed I've recently discovered that Laclau and Mouffe 
do use Tronti and Panzieri as support for their project's initial 
formulation (_HSS_ 80).

And no one ever explained what they meant by the epistemological status 
or otherwise of ideology in Marx...
