Evidence
The con cept of “Ideological State Apparatus,” which has become a generative idea in the post-Althusserean analysis of the capitalist state, is a direct reworking of a few seminal passages on apparatuses of consent and Gramsci’s “State and Civil Society” essay (Prison Notebooks ), though, of course, translated—with effect—into a more structuralist Marxist language. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 530
