=====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.
