Ideology: Mappings S.
Autor Slavoj Zizeken Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 1995
Această lucrare se prezintă sub forma unui companion teoretic esențial, un „reader” care reunește cele mai influente texte contemporane despre conceptul de ideologie. Într-o perioadă în care termenul risca să devină desuet, Slavoj Zizek coordonează o selecție riguroasă care demonstrează vitalitatea acestui domeniu în teoria culturală și practica politică. Volumul este structurat pentru a oferi o hartă conceptuală clară, pornind de la rădăcinile marxiste și trecând prin perspectivele Școlii de la Frankfurt, reprezentată aici prin Theodor Adorno, până la abordările post-structuraliste și psihanalitice.
Reținem că elementul distinctiv al ediției este eseul introductiv semnat de Slavoj Zizek, care nu doar sintetizează istoricul termenului, ci îl și recalibrează prin lentila lacaniană, temă centrală și în lucrarea sa de referință The Sublime Object of Ideology. Antologia facilitează un dialog critic între tradiții diverse: de la analiza aparatelor ideologice de stat ale lui Althusser, la pragmatismul lui Richard Rorty și teoriile lui Fredric Jameson despre capitalismul târziu. Comparabil cu On the Theory and History of Ideological Production de Malcolm K Read în ceea ce privește rigoarea analizei raporturilor sociale, volumul de față este însă mult mai cuprinzător, servind drept panoramă a întregului spectru de gândire politică și socială din secolul XX. Stilul textelor variază de la densitatea teoretică a lui Lacan la interviul clar și concis cu Pierre Bourdieu, oferind o experiență de lectură stratificată, adaptată nevoilor curriculare din științele politice și sociologie.

Despre autor
Slavoj Žižek (născut în 1949 la Ljubljana) este unul dintre cei mai proeminenți intelectuali publici ai contemporaneității. Filozof, teoretician cultural și critic de film, Žižek a revoluționat critica de ideologie prin fuziunea neortodoxă între idealismul german (Hegel), marxism și psihanaliza lacaniană. Cu un parcurs academic ce include doctorate la Ljubljana și Paris, el a devenit o figură centrală a stângii intelectuale. Opera sa vastă, care include titluri precum Enjoy Your Symptom! sau Surplus-Enjoyment, este marcată de un stil provocator, utilizând adesea referințe din cultura populară pentru a explica concepte filozofice abstracte.

Descriere scurtă
Mapping Ideology presents a comprehensive sampling of the most important contemporary writing on the subject. Slavoj Žižek’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.
