The course will discuss certain landmarks in the history of the concept of “ideology” focusing on basic moments in its treatment within the work of Marx and Engels, and the Marxist tradition more generally (more specifically, the approaches of Gyorgy Lukacs, Antonio Gramsci, Louis Althusser). In this context, there will be stressed and analysed the multivalence of the term in question, to the effect of mapping various definitions of the concept, definitions varying to a large extent according to the difference between a broad-neutral and a narrow-negative conception of “ideology” . |
