=====Book Description=====
[[Image:Mapping.Ideology.jpg|300px|right]]
Not so long ago, the term “ideology” was in considerable disrepute. Its use had become associated with a [[claim]] to [[know]] a [[truth]] beyond [[ideology]], a radically unfashionable [[position]]. What then explains the sudden revival of interest in grappling with the questions that 'ideology' poses to [[social]] and [[cultural]] [[theory]], as well as to [[political]] [[practice]]?
''[[Mapping]] Ideology'' presents a comprehensive sampling of the most important contemporary [[writing]] on the [[subject]]. Slavoj [[Zizek]]'s introductory essay surveys the [[development]] of the [[concept]] from [[Marx]] to the [[present]]. Terry Eagleton, Peter Dews and Seyla Benhabib assess the decisive contributions of Lukács and the Frankfurt [[School]]. A different [[tradition]] is revealed in an essay by the [[French]] post-[[structuralist]] Michel Pêcheux, 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 appears in a now famous debate over 'the dominant ideology [[thesis]]', reprinted here. Pierre Bourdieu succinctly formulates his departure from this tradition in an interview with Eagleton. Further readings of the [[ideological]] are explored by [[Richard Rorty]] and Michèle Barrett. Finally Fredric [[Jameson]] supplies an authoritative [[statement]] of the [[nature]] and position of the ideological in late [[capitalist]] [[society]]. ''Mapping Ideology'' is an invaluable [[guide]] to what is now the most [[dynamic]] field of cultural theory.

Žižek, S. (ed.) (1994) Mapping Ideology, London and New York: Verso.Bringing together a host of contemporary analyses of ideology,as well as some classic texts from the recent past, this book alsocontains two contributions from Žižek. One of these is an editedversion of Chapter 1 in The Sublime Object of Ideology and the other isan original essay. This essay is perhaps Žižek's most succinct and cogentexploration of the concept of ideology. His basic thesis is that ideologyfunctions as a kind of spectre concealing the gap between the Real andthe Symbolic. The value of this book (from a Žižekian point of view)is that it allows the reader to compare Žižek's thesis with Althusser'sclassic essay 'Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses' - the othermain theory of ideology which utilizes Lacan's work.{{CBBSZ}}
