Items related to Mapping Ideology (Mappings)
Mapping Ideology is one of the first titles in the new series "Mappings", carefully assembled readers designed to offer students, teachers and general readers essential surveys of new zones of cultural, social and political experience. In this book, an introductory essay surveys the development of the concept of ideology from Marx to the present. Terry Eagleton, Peter Dews and Seyla Benhabib assess the decisive contributions of Lukacs and the Frankfurt School. A different tradition is revealed in an essay by the French post-structuralist Michel Pecheux, while the study of ideology is exemplified in classic texts by Theodor Adorno, Jacques Lacan and Louis Althusser. An intersection of Gramscian and Althusserian motifs appear in a now famous debate over "the dominant ideology thesis", reprinted here. Pierre Bourdieu formulates his departure from this tradition in an interview with Eagleton. Further readings of the ideological are explored by Richard Rorty and Michele Barrett. Finally, Fredric Jameson supplies a statement of the nature and position of the ideological in late-capitalist society. Slavoj Zizek is the author of "For They Know Not What They Do", "The Sublime Object of Ideology" and "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Lacan (But Were Afraid To Ask Hitchcock)".
