substructure and superstructure  

Définition

  • The distinction between substructure (or base) and superstructure is central to the work of Karl Marx (1818–1883), particularly to his theory of historical materialism. The key claim, formulated most extensively in The German Ideology (1845), is that society's substructure (for Marx the economic infrastructure) holds deterministic supremacy over all other noneconomic elements, the superstructure.
