Marxist Theory of Ideology

Marxist Theory of Ideology

Taylor & Francis

This work explores the question of defining ideology from a Marxist perspective. Advancing beyond the schemas of discussion presented in current Marxist literature, the author offers an account of how the concept of ideology should be defined and what role it plays within historical materialism. Through a close reading of Karl Marx\u2019s relevant writings, this volume demonstrates that while there is no coherent, single account of ideology in Marx\u2019s work, his materialist framework can be reconstructed in a defensible and \u2018non-deterministic\u2019 way. The definition of ideology presented is then articulated through a close reading of Antonio Gramsci\u2019s Prison Notebooks. Efforts are also made to demonstrate that Gramsci\u2019s interpretation of historical materialism is indeed consistent and compatible with Marx\u2019s. A systematic articulation of a theory of ideology that combines the works of Marx and Gramsci, as well as adding elements of Pierre Bourdieu\u2019s socia.
