Had nasty moment in class today. It was in probably my favorite subject, Modern Political Thought. Anyway, apparently Louis Althusser murdered his wife by strangling her and then was committed to mental asylum. I remember really digging Althusser last semester in my cultural studies subject, and he was also wheeled out again recently in my Po-Colo essay reading.

"The truth of history cannot be read in its manifest discourses, because the text of history is not a text in which a voice speaks, but the inaudible and illegible notation of the effects of a structure of structures." - Reading Capital

Hmpht! Wife murderer!
