Book Synopsis Theory and History of Ideological Production by : Rodríguez Gómez Rodríguez
Download or read book Theory and History of Ideological Production written by Rodríguez Gómez Rodríguez and published by University of Delaware Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To explain a text, according to Rodriguez, is to locate it precisley at a real historical conjuncture, to situate it ideologically. This insistence on the historicity of literature saved Rodriguez from the fate that, from the late 1970s onward, overtook many Althusserians. The latter, unable to historicise and therefore transcend the key category of the subject, refused to rank 'real art' among the ideologies, as a result of which their concept of literary 'production' remained locked in a Kantian- and therefore eminently bourgeois- problematic. For Rodriguez, in contrast, ideology could not be the discourse of the subject, for the simple reason that the subject was itself an historical category, whose origins were to be found in animism, the ideology of the bourgeoisie during its early, mercantilist phase. As an emergent ideology, animism stood in contradiction to substantialism, its dominant counterpart under feudalism, that manifestly had no place for a 'free subject'. The analysis of these conflictual ideologies, during the protracted transition in Spain from feudalism to capitalism, constitutes the kernel of Theory and History of Ideological Production.

Book Synopsis On the Theory and History of Ideological Production by : Malcolm K. Read
Download or read book On the Theory and History of Ideological Production written by Malcolm K. Read and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Theory and History of Ideological Production promotes the existence of an ‘ideological unconscious’, understood primarily as a product of social relations, not of the Ideological State Apparatus. Attention focuses upon the transition from feudalism to capitalism, as theorised by the Spanish Marxist and former student of Althusser, Juan Carlos Rodríguez. Theorization of the ‘ideological unconscious’ presupposes a change of terrain from the individual/society opposition to a problematic based on the ‘social formation’. The present text assesses Rodríguez’s work alongside that of his contemporaries, Fredric Jameson, Noam Chomsky, Terry Eagleton, Roy Bhaskar, Slavoj Žižek, and others.

Book Synopsis Theories of Ideology by : Jan Rehmann
Download or read book Theories of Ideology written by Jan Rehmann and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-07-25 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to explain the hegemonic stability of neoliberal capitalism even in the midst of its crises? The emergence of ideology theories marked a re-foundation of Marxist research into the functioning of alienation and subjection. Going beyond traditional concepts of ‘manipulation’ and ‘false consciousness’, they turned to the material existence of hegemonic apparatuses and focused on the mostly unconscious effects of ideological practices, rituals and discourses. Jan Rehmann reconstructs the different strands of ideology theories ranging from Marx to Adorno/Horkheimer, from Lenin to Gramsci, from Althusser to Stuart Hall, from Bourdieu to W.F. Haug, from Foucault to Butler. He compares them in a way that a genuine dialogue becomes possible and applies the different methods to the ‘market totalitarianism’ of today’s high-tech-capitalism.

Download or read book Ideology written by David McLellan and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To study ideology is to ask such questions as: Where do our ideas about society and politics come from? Are these ideas socially determined? If so, what validity can they claim? In this brief yet comprehensive introduction, David McLellan examines the origins of the concept of ideology, analyzes its place in the Marxist and non-Marxist traditions, and assesses the various uses to which it has been put in recent social and political theory, particularly the connection between ideology and the "end of history" debate. Revised and updated, this second edition is for all those who are interested in a clear presentation of the most basic concept in the philosophy of the social sciences.

Book Synopsis The Political Unconscious by : Fredric Jameson
Download or read book The Political Unconscious written by Fredric Jameson and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fredric Jameson, in The Political Unconscious, opposes the view that literary creation can take place in isolation from its political context. He asserts the priority of the political interpretation of literary texts, claiming it to be at the center of all reading and understanding, not just a supplement or auxiliary to other methods current today. Jameson supports his thesis by looking closely at the nature of interpretation. Our understanding, he says, is colored by the concepts and categories that we inherit from our culture's interpretive tradition and that we use to comprehend what we read. How then can the literature of other ages be understood by readers from a present that is culturally so different from the past? Marxism lies at the foundation of Jameson's answer, because it conceives of history as a single collective narrative that links past and present; Marxist literary criticism reveals the unity of that uninterrupted narrative. Jameson applies his interpretive theory to nineteenth- and twentieth-century texts, including the works of Balzac, Gissing, and Conrad. Throughout, he considers other interpretive approaches to the works he discusses, assessing the importance and limitations of methods as different as Lacanian psychoanalysis, semiotics, dialectical analysis, and allegorical readings. The book as a whole raises directly issues that have been only implicit in Jameson's earlier work, namely the relationship between dialectics and structuralism, and the tension between the German and the French aesthetic traditions.

Book Synopsis Karl Marx's Theory of Ideas by : John Torrance
Download or read book Karl Marx's Theory of Ideas written by John Torrance and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-05-04 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marx's undeveloped ideas about how society presents a misleading appearance which distorts its members' understanding of it have been the subject of many conflicting interpretations. In this book John Torrance takes a fresh, un-Marxist approach to Marx's texts and shows that a more precise, coherent and cogent sociology of ideas can be extracted from them than is generally allowed. The implications of this for twentieth-century capitalism and for recent debates about Marx's conceptions of justice, morality and the history of social science are explored. The author argues that Marx's theory of ideas is sufficiently independent of other parts of his thought to provide a critique and explanation of those defects in his own understanding of capitalism which allowed Marxism itself to become, by his own definition, an ideology.
Book Synopsis Ideologies of Theory by : Fredric Jameson
Download or read book Ideologies of Theory written by Fredric Jameson and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 1073 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideologies of Theory, updated and available for the first time in a single volume, brings together theoretical essays that span Fredric Jameson's long career as a critic. They chart a body of work suspended by the twin poles of literary scholarship and political history, occupying a space vibrant with the tension between critical exegesis and the Marxist intellectual tradition. Jameson's work pushes out the boundaries of the text, making evident the interaction between literature and the disciplines of psychoanalysis, philosophy and cultural theory, all of which are shown to be inseparable from their ideological milieu. The essays in this volume track a shift from ideological analysis to the phenomenology of everyday life, and constitute a rigorous and passionate argument for the necessity of theory as the simultaneous critique of empiricism and idealist philosophy.
Download or read book Ideology written by Terry Eagleton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of readings on the concept of ideology is brought together by the Marxist critic, Terry Eagleton. His introduction traces the historical evolution of ideology and examines in a more theoretical style the various meanings of the word and their significance. The readings begin with the first English translations of some of the writing of the French founder of the concept in the eighteenth century. They then move from the enlightenment to Hegel and Marxism, with particular emphasis on Marx and Engels themselves. They also look at other eighteenth-century traditions of thought such as Nietzche and Freud. All the readings are theoretical rather than examples of `ideology at work' and will be of interest to undergraduate students of cultural, political and historical studies concerned with ideology, as well as students of English literature.
Book Synopsis Marxism and Ideology by : Ferruccio Rossi-Landi
Download or read book Marxism and Ideology written by Ferruccio Rossi-Landi and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1990 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ferruccio Rossi-Landi was one of Italy's foremost Marxist theorists. In Marxism and Ideology, which represents the culmination of his life's work, he goes further than any writer to illuminate the complex issues raised by the concept of `ideology'. Through its penetrating analysis of the intimate relationship between language, consciousness, and power, his treatise not only offers a valuable review of the history of the notion of ideology and the debate surrounding it, but represents an original and comprehensive revision of the classicMarxist theory of ideology. While retaining the conceptual framework of historical materialism, the author takes on board three major developments in post-war human sciences: the recognition of Marxism's shortcomings as a predictive and strictly empirical system of thought, the relativism whichhas invaded every academic discipline, and the emergence of semiology and linguistics as major fields of enquiry. In the hands of Rossi-Landi, Marxism becomes both a finely-tuned analytical tool for investigating ideology and a fully fledged ideology in its own right.
Book Synopsis Reading Ideologies by : Colin Sumner
Download or read book Reading Ideologies written by Colin Sumner and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this book Marx's theory of ideology is re-examined and contrasted with the position of Althusser. On the basis of the Marxist theory of ideology, the existing reading methods are examined and found to be inadequate, and a new method is proposed. Law is examined as a classical form of ideology and its role as an ideological force in society is described. In this examination classical Marxist theory is criticised. A method for reading the ideological composition of law is outlined. The book can be seen as a contribution to social theory and methodology and as a critique of recent structuralist approaches to ideology and society. It is a detailed attempt to explore the basic Marxist position that ideologies are reflections of social relations and an attempt to see what this means in theory and in the practice of sociological research. This book will be of considerable interest to students and researchers in the humanities and social sciences." -- Backcover.
Book Synopsis Lenin and Philosophy by : Louis Althusser
Download or read book Lenin and Philosophy written by Louis Althusser and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No figure among the western Marxist theoreticians has loomed larger in the postwar period than Louis Althusser. A rebel against the Catholic tradition in which he was raised, Althusser studied philosophy and later joined both the faculty of the Ecole normal superieure and the French Communist Party in 1948. Viewed as a structuralist Marxist, Althusser was as much admired for his independence of intellect as he was for his rigorous defense of Marx. The latter was best illustrated in For Marx (1965), and Reading Capital (1968). These works, along with Lenin and Philosophy (1971) had an enormous influence on the New Left of the 1960s and continues to influence modern Marxist scholarship. This classic work, which to date has sold more than 30,000 copies, covers the range of Louis Althusser's interests and contributions in philosophy, economics, psychology, aesthetics, and political science. Marx, in Althusser's view, was subject in his earlier writings to the ruling ideology of his day. Thus for Althusser, the interpretation of Marx involves a repudiation of all efforts to draw from Marx's early writings a view of Marx as a humanist and historicist. Lenin and Philosophy also contains Althusser's essay on Lenin's study of Hegel; a major essay on the state, Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses, Freud and Lacan: A letter on Art in Reply to Andr Daspre, and Cremonini, Painter of the Abstract. The book opens with a 1968 interview in which Althusser discusses his personal, political, and intellectual history.
