Description
Book SynopsisIdeology draws on the social, political and cultural theory of Jurgen Habermas, Gilles Deleuze and Slavoj Zizek in order to explore the possibility of developing a 'critical conception of ideology'. The book is concerned with two main themes: the relationship of ideology to the 'real' and the relationship between ideology and the 'ethical'.
Trade Review"This is an original and challenging contribution to the literature on ideology with rich insights into the way cultural forms such as film mediate ideological positions and it is also a well-informed introduction to the complex ideas of Habermas, Ziek, Deleuze and Guattari." -Dr. Iain MacKenzie, University of Kent
