| Language is a powerful superstructural semiotic tool through which hegemonies, gendered or otherwise, are created and sustained. |
| In other words, in classical Marxist terms, the focus of critical theory is almost entirely superstructural. |
| Whereas it was previously confined to a purely superstructural position, it now constitutes an essential basis of today s society. |
| Thus labour remains very much in the domain of the base, and as such it does not have much in common with superstructural phenomena like culture, language and communication. |
| Simply treating the state as a superstructural entity precludes any conceptual capacity to discern the movement of value in welfare policy. |
