Scope and Content Summary
This series consists of Balibar's notes, drafts, and typescripts for a manuscript on intellectual and manual labor that was
never completed. In 1969-1970, in the wake of the student revolt and general strikes in France, the students closest to Althusser
collaborated on an ambitious project to interpret class, domination, and its symbolism as determinations of the educational
system ("Ecole", later called the typical "Ideological State Apparatus" by Althusser). Members of the project included Balibar,
Christian Baudelot, Roger Establet, Pierre Macherey, and Michel Tort, each of whom planned to write one to two chapters for
the manuscript. Balibar's focus was on intellectual and manual labor. The project collapsed around 1970, following the group's
visit to teach summer school at the University of Havana, Cuba. Baudelot, Establet and Tort later published their chapters
independently.
