Pierre Macherey’s A Theory of Literary Production (1966) was the first extended Althusserian discussion of art and ideology. Instead of treating the text as a ‘creation’ or a self-contained artefact, he regards it as a ‘production’ in which disparate materials are worked over and changed in the process. These materials are not ‘free implements’ to be used consciously to create a controlled and unified work of art. Irrespective of prevailing aesthetic norms and authorial intentions, the text in working the pre- given materials, is never fully “aware of what it is doing”. It has an ‘unconscious’. Ideology enters and deforms a would-be unified text. Ideology is normally lived as if it were totally natural, as if its imaginary and fluid discourse gives a perfect and unified explanation of reality. Once it is worked into a text, all its contradictions and gaps are exposed. The realist writer intends to unify all the elements in the text, but the work that goes on in the textual process inevitably produces certain lapses and omissions which correspond to the incoherence of the ideological discourse it uses: ‘for in order to say anything, there are other things which must not be said’.
Sir, here the 'disparate materials' means that the thoughts that perceived through ideology?
by 'disparate materials' he means that the author does not have control over the material he chooses as the.materials underpins it's own signification to give rise to an ideological battle within the text
