Encounter of Two Kinds of Althusserian Effect: For A Productive Duet of Over-determination/ Under-determination and Aleatory Materialism/Materialism of Encounter

Etienne Balibar once estimated his teacher Althusser as ‘a vanished mediator’ of a process from innovation of Marxism to dissolution of Marxism. But, in this paper, I will establish that the true character of Althusser’s thoughts was in the construction of a new Marxism of future through a philosophical duet of two conceptual melodies. One was theoretical practices (Effect-A) which was composed of exact analyses of conditions of reproduction of relations of production and interventions into history, politics and philosophy of Marxism. The other was theoretical practices (Effect-B) for class struggles and revolution which cause cracks in the stable conditions of reproduction of relations of production. This perspective opens a productive vision to use his late thoughts (aleatory materialism and materialism of encounter) as a theoretical means of analyses to explain changes from over-determination of stable social systems to underdetermination of unstable social systems. The first melody of over-determination presents the process how accident encounters of many events had condensed into historical necessities of capitalistic relations of production for a long time. The second melody presents possibilities of new encounters to be opened from fissures & vacua generated in those necessities during unstable transitive period.
