{{CBBSZ}}
Bringing together a host of contemporary analyses of ideology,
 
as well as some classic texts from the recent past, this book also
 
contains two contributions from Žižek. One of these is an edited
 
version of Chapter 1 in The Sublime Object of Ideology and the other is
 
an original essay. This essay is perhaps Žižek's most succinct and cogent
 
exploration of the concept of ideology. His basic thesis is that ideology
 
functions as a kind of spectre concealing the gap between the Real and
 
the 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's
 
classic essay 'Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses'        - the other
 
main theory of ideology which utilizes Lacan's work.

Book Description
Mapping.Ideology.jpg

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.
