Althusserian terminology - "problematic", "overdetermined" and
so on - is evident in the Birmingham centre's journal of cultural
studies. But there was always unease with Althusser. Stuart Hall
tended to deny using him, E.P. Thompson monumentally
attacked Althusser's anti-humanism and denial of individual
action as ideas deeply repugnant to a militant historian of the
working class (in The Poverty of Theory, 1978).
