interpellation
(en)
(common Althusserian term) the process by which ideology, embodied in major social and political institutions (ideological & repressive state apparatuses), constitutes the very nature of individual subjects' identities through the process of "hailing" them in social interactions
the working-class subject was interpellated by New Labour as a being capable of radical, indeed practically infinite, self-transformation
