in blue: the idea here is that our identities are, like language and ideologies, constructed

so, we are not who we actually are? we are only shells subjected to the interpellation by ideology? the books we read are ideologies, the ways we talk are ideologies, even the outfits we mix&match are ideologies?! what are we then, other than only ideologies?
depressive state.

i re-read my assignment, and was struck by this statement which i wrote:
schools and universities transmit knowledge, or ideologies, to students like mass production in factories (o'shaghnessy & stadler, 2002:200), in a one teacher-many students' relationship. even the building-up of the lecture hall itself conforms to this mode of production, students merely listen attentively to what lecturer is teaching and to take notes like photocopying machines, there is no room for students to ask questions, or so to speak.
and i typed in "so sad, but true" after the statement. in my head. i was that inclined.

still can't get over the pessimistic althusserian view of communication and culture. despite his pessimism,i agree with him. if i flop this assignment i am so gonna hate althusser.
