A Dossier of Texts Relating to Gerosimos Avlonites

Ted A. Campbell

Bridwell Press, 2025

GERASIMOS AVLONITES (fl. 1752-1773) was a Greek Christian leader who consistently identified himself as the Greek Orthodox Bishop of Arcadia in Crete. A native of Corfu, then dominated by Venice, he worked in Crete during the period of Ottoman domination there. He traveled throughout Europe, visiting Holland, England, Sweden and Switzerland and leaving a trail of letters and other writings in mixed Greek and Latin in each place. His interactions with John Wesley and his ordinations of Evangelical ministers in the 1760s first prompted awareness of him. This volume gathers all known sources for Gerasimos with images of original manuscripts, transcriptions of manuscript materials, and translations.

Étienne Balibar on Althusser's Dramaturgy and the Critique of Ideology

Elizabeth Weed and Ellen Rooney, special issue editors

Duke University Press, 0

Most readers of Louis Althusser first enter his work through his writings on ideology. In an important new essay Étienne Balibar, friend and colleague of Althusser, offers an original reading of Althusser’s idea of ideology, drawing on both recently published posthumous writing and Althusser's work on the Piccolo Teatro di Milano. Balibar’s essay uncovers the intricate workings of interpellation through Althusser’s essays on the theater. If debates on dialectical materialism belong to a distant history, Balibar suggests, the question of ideology remains crucial for thinking the present.

The issue includes commentaries on Balibar’s essay from five influential scholars who engage critically with Althusser’s philosophy: Judith Butler, Banu Bargu, Adi Ophir, Warren Montag, and Bruce Robbins. This issue reanimates Althusser’s concept of ideology as an analytic tool for contemporary cultural and political critique.
