In alignment with one of the key points from the previous section, which denies the integral and unified account of identity, this section elaborates the discursive view of identity. In order to understand this shift in conceptualising identity, we will revisit the simple definition of identity from Longman dictionary (section 9.1.1). The later part of this definition, specifically, the second key phrase “different from other people” brings about the discussion of the discursive approach to identity
that could be bought or sold. What this advertisement is doing is selling sex so the audience would want the phone. It’s also reification believing that abstract values and goods are objects. This brings me to my next point of use of interpellation. Interpellation is the way to get that attention of the view or target of its audience. Incorporation of resistance, it gives us distractions or appealing elements to quiet the criticism. In this advertisement you do not pay much attention to the flaws
The film Blind Faith took place on July 5, 1957 in New York. In the film, black lawyer John Williams has to represent his nephew Charlie, who has been accused of killing a white boy in the park. Charlie was a senior in high school and had a bright future ahead of him. His father is a police officer and is extremely hard on him. So when Charlie was accused of this crime his father was embarrassed. When John, and Charlie’s father arrived at the police station, Charlie was beaten so badly that
Throughout the narrative, the speaker reiterates the Ushers’ inability to change and evolve, thus suggesting their resistance to Althusser’s idea of interpellation. Althusser argues that individuals become part of, or interpellated, into society once they have accepted their roles within the established ideology. The Usher family’s resistance to interpellation demonstrates a fear of extinction and an apprehension about progress, particularly as they refuse to integrate themselves into the world outside
Franz Kafka’s ‘The Metamorphosis’ embodies the dehumanising effect placed on man by the Capitalist system, through an economical perspective. In the Capitalist ‘system’ men can only maintain their efficiency and value by the ‘status of an object’; the man must label and objectify themselves in order to know the humanitarian state of ‘being’, then contrast that state of ‘being’ with the idealised expectations placed upon them by the Capitalist system, for efficiency. This links to Kafka’s ‘The Metamorphosis’
on the presence of the black male body as a threat to the colonial white subject leads itself well to a parallel phenomenological relationship of the queer male cruiser as a threat to the homophobe. I draw my reader’s attention to the powerful interpellation, ‘Look, a Negro!’ (p. 109). Within the context of racist colonialism, these words, as Fanon remarks, rip him from himself and reconstitute him as a ‘corporeal mal- ediction’ (p. 111) cast into the world of objects as object.

Callaghan explains how Dave is a product of the money-oriented society because he is experiencing interpellation. This causes Dave to have the inability to favour his son’s emotions over money. The reader is able to sense Dave’s favoritism towards money when he says, “See, Stevie,” he whispered. “That windbreaker you wanted! And ten dollars for your bank
atmosphere. At both places, the manager who did the hiring used interpellation, a stereotype view of who should work where in the store and the employees themselves ended up taking on that stereotype and acting in the manner appropriate. If the manager had a certain person in mind for the position, for example, Toy Warehouse employed white women as cashiers; it would leave men out for the job, or the same with race. An example of Interpellation at Toy Warehouse was when an African-America man named Deshay
Inside Toyland, written by Christine L. Williams, is a look into toy stores and the race, class, and gender issues. Williams worked about six weeks at two toy stores, Diamond Toys and Toy Warehouse, long enough to be able to detect patterns in store operations and the interactions between the workers and the costumers. She wanted to attempt to describe and analyze the rules that govern giant toy stores. Her main goal was to understand how shopping was socially organized and how it might be transformed
