I’m hoping to generate some good discussion with this video so please feel free to comment below
I really think you’re wrong, it can just mean “role” or “effect”. Like wind’s function in a turbine is to spin the blades, the function of the Bernoulli Principle in stream dynamics is to cause meandering, or the function of a cat’s whisker is to detect objects in the dark.
But the turbine and the stream dynamics model are designed systems, where in the case of capitalist hegemony system is purely emergent. Function absolutely has teleological implications. Here’s an example but the but really I’m not seeing anything to say it’s synonymous with ‘effect’.
It can be synonymous with role, but role also implies purpose.
Right, I might just be quibbling over words but ‘function’ implies purpose and design which are absent in this case.
