Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often called a religion of peace, Islam has become one of the most dangerous threats to the modern way of life. In Essays on the Ideology and Menace of Islam, author Martin Slann explores the impact of the Islamic religion in today's culture. This collection of essays will open your eyes to the truth behind Islam, the effects of Muslim immigration, and the governmental influence aiming to accept this belief system. Slann reveals how this religion from the Middle East is changing social standards in western society, from Europe to the United States of America. This timely work exposes the action of liberal political leaders to implement the teachings of the Koran while putting the security of the American people at risk. With a focus on politics, as well as religious and historical evidence, Slann's profound work provides a realistic look at the fourteen-century-long conflict between Islam and the west.

Book Synopsis Culture, Ideology and Politics (Routledge Revivals) by : Raphael Samuel
Download or read book Culture, Ideology and Politics (Routledge Revivals) written by Raphael Samuel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982, this book is inspired the ideas generated by Eric Hobsbawm, and has taken shape around a unifying preoccupation with the symbolic order and its relationship to political and religious belief. It explores some of the oldest question in Marxist historiography, for example the relationship of ‘base’ and ‘superstructure’, art and social life, and also some of the newest and most problematic questions, such as the relationship of dreams and fantasy to political action, or of past and present — historical consciousness — to the making of ideology. The essays, which range widely over period and place, are intended to break new ground and take on difficult questions.
Book Synopsis Allegory and Ideology by : Fredric Jameson
Download or read book Allegory and Ideology written by Fredric Jameson and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fredric Jameson takes on the allegorical form Works do not have meanings, they soak up meanings: a work is a machine for libidinal investments (including the political kind). It is a process that sorts incommensurabilities and registers contradictions (which is not the same as solving them!) The inevitable and welcome conflict of interpretations - a discursive, ideological struggle - therefore needs to be supplemented by an account of this simultaneous processing of multiple meanings, rather than an abandonment to liberal pluralisms and tolerant (or intolerant) relativisms. This is not a book about "method", but it does propose a dialectic capable of holding together in one breath the heterogeneities that reflect our biological individualities, our submersion in collective history and class struggle, and our alienation to a disembodied new world of information and abstraction. Eschewing the arid secularities of philosophy, Walter Benjamin once recommended the alternative of the rich figurality of an older theology; in that spirit we here return to the antiquated Ptolemaic systems of ancient allegory and its multiple levels (a proposal first sketched out in The Political Unconscious); it is tested against the epic complexities of the overtly allegorical works of Dante, Spenser and the Goethe of Faust II, as well as symphonic form in music, and the structure of the novel, postmodern as well as Third-World: about which a notorious essay on National Allegory is here reprinted with a theoretical commentary; and an allegorical history of emotion is meanwhile rehearsed from its contemporary, geopolitical context.

Book Synopsis Ideology and Insanity by : Thomas Szasz
Download or read book Ideology and Insanity written by Thomas Szasz and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1991-04-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of the earliest essays of Thomas Szasz, in which he staked out his position on “the nature, scope, methods, and values of psychiatry.” On each of these issues, he opposed the official position of the psychiatric profession. Where conventional psychiatrists saw themselves diagnosing and treating mental illness, Szasz saw them stigmatizing and controlling persons; where they saw hospitals, Szasz saw prisons; where they saw courageous professional advocacy of individualism and freedom, Szasz saw craven support of collectivism and oppression.
Download or read book Mapping Ideology written by Slavoj Zizek and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time, the term ‘ideology’ was in disrepute, having become associated with such unfashionable notions as fundamental truth and the eternal verities. The tide has turned, and recent years have seen a revival of interest in the questions that ideology poses to social and cultural theory, and to political practice. Mapping Ideology is a comprehensive reader covering the most important contemporary writing on the subject. Including Slavoj Žižek’s study of the development of the concept from Marx to the present, assessments of the contributions of Lukács and the Frankfurt School by Terry Eagleton, Peter Dews and Seyla Benhabib, and essays by Adorno, Lacan and Althusser, Mapping Ideology is an invaluable guide to the most dynamic field in cultural theory.

Book Synopsis The Ideology of Conduct (Routledge Revivals) by : Nancy Armstrong
Download or read book The Ideology of Conduct (Routledge Revivals) written by Nancy Armstrong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Ideology of Conduct, first published in 1987, scholars from various fields, from the medieval period to the present day, discuss literature in which the sole purpose is to instruct women in how to make themselves desirable. This collection investigates how middle-class writers who had long emulated the behaviour of the aristocracy began to criticise that behaviour by formulating an alternative object of desire. They did so without appearing to breed political controversy because it seemed to concern only the female. But writing for and about women in fact became a powerful instrument of hegemony as it introduced a whole new vocabulary for social relations, induced certain forms of economic behaviour as desirable in men and women respectively, and insured the reproduction of the nuclear family. It is argued, therefore, that the literature of conduct not only recorded but also assisted the production of our contemporary gender-based culture.

Book Synopsis Psychoanalysis, Identity, and Ideology by : John Bunzl
Download or read book Psychoanalysis, Identity, and Ideology written by John Bunzl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-07-31 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its founding one hundred years ago psychoanalysis has been the focus of contention, controversy, and debate. What has been clear despite all controversies is that the psychoanalytic tradition has created and inspired special modes of critical thinking which have been used to examine both human behavior and corresponding social ideologies. Psychoanalysis, Identity, and Ideology presents papers from a historic two day conference of leading Israeli, Palestinian, and European psychologists held in June of 1999. Sensitive professional and historical dilemmas are discussed with refreshing openness. This collection embodies the tradition of critical thinking applied to ideologies and identities, Zionism in particular, through a non-exclusive prism of psychoanalytic traditions.
Book Synopsis Music/ideology by : Jean-François Lyotard
Download or read book Music/ideology written by Jean-François Lyotard and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music/Ideology is a response to the question: Must the practice of music analysis and music theory always reinscribe the ideology of aesthetic autonomy? And, if not, under what circumstances does it reinscribe that ideology? The responses to these questions should appeal not only to music and cultural theorists, but also to a larger audience engaged in critical theory. These essays serve as an introduction to the broad array of issues arising from approaches that represent the full spectrum, from music-theoretical to marxist and feminist issues. Such questions are of vital importance, and not only to those who are engaged in establishing a connection among music theory, music analysis, and aesthetic ideology. Music/Ideology presents today's most interesting critical thinkers in postmodern theory and music theory, introducing an interdisciplinary approach and covering a wide range of subjects - both by implication and explication.
