In terms of content, what Foucault and Althusser investigated
respectively in their best known works enriches our understanding of
what is called "social reproduction"* in Marxist literature. But I
wasn't speaking at the level of content. I was suggesting that words
that have transhistorical application, such as experience and
production, often obscure discontinuities in history.
