Ideology in Literary Theory: Marx and Althusser| Marxism

Ideology according to Marx and Althusser| Marxism| Literary Theory| False Consciousnesses
This is my brief discussion of the all important concept of ideology. In this video I first explains ideology as false consciousness, as explained by Marx and then go on to discuss ideology as explained by Louis Althusser.

What is Postcolonialism:
Since I claim to be a postcolonialism scholar, I think it is apt to include a brief description of my field of study. In my view, Postcolonialism ( also written as Post Colonialism or Post-Colonialism) is a dynamic field of literary study that focuses on the history of colonialism and native responses to the colonial policies and life after colonialism formally ends. The field of postcolonialism also offers insights into the literature and culture of the the former European colonies and their struggles after the end of colonialism.

It is said that we only born free and after that certain types of ideologies are imposed on us in one way or another. According to Althusser, we are always bound in some kind of ideology. Is it possible to go beyond these structural ideologies?

In terms of ideological structures, what confluence of factors assist in changing it? Class Consciousness certainly is a component, but surly not everyone in a Revolutionary moment is all studied person's on the subject. Wherein does Art fit in? Surely it is on the continuum, but where? I am reminded of the period of pre-US Civil War, where pro and anti slavery factions were participating in guerilla campaigns against each other, but also, with the publication of the novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" the art assisted, inadvertently, in changing public opinion on the subject of slavery and permanently shifted public consciousness towards opposition. I suppose culture (Art) catches up to Consciousness and reflects it back once it reaches a certain critical mass and is both willing to be looked at by the public, and is lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.
