Re-energizing Ideology Studies
Ideology studies have undergone significant growth over the past couple of decades. The scope of the discipline has been extensively broadened to include not only text and discourse but also emotions, imagination, fantasy, rhetoric and visual forms. Its attention to detail and to the micro-manifestations of ideology in the everyday has borne considerable fruit, particularly at a time of ideological fragmentation and reassembly. Its research methods have been refined, embracing both conceptual innovation and empirical evidence drawn from many fields of social creativity.
During that period, the Journal of Political Ideologies has been a major vehicle of the disciplines advance and coming of age. The chapters in this book originally published as two special issues in the journal. The book assembles and investigates some of the latest approaches and domains in which cutting-edge ideology research is now under way. The multiple topics, sources and interdisciplinary perspectives it contains illustrate the variety and depth that ideology studies have attained. Its subjects range from historical and literary analyses, through feminist studies, and psychosocial interpretations. It takes in the new means of dissemination that the digital age has introduced, and offers fresh assessments of the many cross-fertilizations possible between ideology research, political theory and international studies, as traditional ideologies vie with new ideological articulations and forms.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Political Ideologies.
