banking services chronicle magazine pdf in hindi published this article It interpellates them and limits them to a specific discourse of armed conflict. The barrage of soundbites slogans clips edited and breaking news and carefully selected commentary and advocacy attract attention force people to infuse the information with meaning and consequently to conform and participate in the practice e.g. support the war or fight in it. The explicit and implicit messages are People like you liberal courageous selfless sharp resilient entrepreneurial just patriotic and magnanimous buy this or do that People like you go to war selflessly to defend not only their nearest and dearest but an ungrateful world as well People like you do not allow a monster like Saddam Hussein to prevail People like you are missionaries bringing democracy and a better life to all corners of the globe. People like you are clever and wont wait till it is too late and Saddam possesses or worse uses weapons of mass destruction People like you contrast with others the French the Germans who ungratefully shirk their responsibilities and wallow in cowardice. The reader viewer is interpellated both as an individual you and as a member of a group people like you.... She occupies the empty imaginary slot represented by the you in the media campaign. It is a form of mass flattery. The media caters to the narcissistic impulse to believe that it addresses us personally as unique individuals. Thus the reader or viewer is transformed into the subject of and is being subjected to the material practice of the ideology war in this case. Still not all is lost. Althusser refrains from tackling the possibilities of ideological failure conflict struggle or resistance. His own problematic may not have allowed him to respond to these two deceptively simple questions What is the ultimate goal and purpose of the ideological practice beyond selfperpetuation What happens in a pluralistic environment rich in competing ideologies and thus in contradictory interpellations There are incompatible ideological strands even in the strictest authoritarian regimes let alone in the Western democracies. Currently IASs within the same social formation in the USA are offering competing ideologies political parties the Church the family the military the media the intelligentsia and the bureaucracy completely fail to agree and cohere around a single doctrine. As far as the Iraqi conflict goes subjects have been exposed to parallel and mutuallyexclusive interpellations since day one. Moreover as opposed to Althussers narrow and paranoid view interpellation is rarely about converting subjects to a specific and invariably transient ideological practice. It is concerned mostly with the establishment of a consensual space in which opinions information goods and services can be exchanged subject to agreed rules. Interpellation therefore is about convincing people not to opt out not to tune out not to drop out and not to rebel. When it encourages subjects to act for instance to consume or to support a war or to fight in it or to vote it does so in order to preserve the social treaty the social order and society at large. The business concern the church the political party the family the media the culture industries the educational system the military the civil service are all interested in securing influence over or at least access to potential subjects. Thus interpellation is used mainly to safeguard future ability to interpellate. banking services chronicle magazine pdf in hindi
