Om institutioner

"Agents of stratification make up institutions: not just the State, but also the Family, Religion, Production, the Marketplace, Art itself, Morality and so on. The institutions are not sources or essences, and have neither essence nor interiority. They are practices or operating mechanism which do not explain power since they presuppose its relations and are content to 'fix' them, as part of a function that is not productive but reproductive. There is no State, only state control, and the same holds for all other cases." *
