| Abstract | As a word-concept, ideology is at best polysemous and at worst amorphous. Possibly among the most heavily appropriated of academic jargon, it is inflected through by a multitude of disciplinary vectors and semantic senses and has become overloaded with meaning, spinning a discourse unto itself. Eagleton defines ideology as “a text, woven of a whole tissue of different conceptual strands … traced through by divergent histories” (1991:1; original emphasis). He suggests that these various strands should be assessed on their own merits, rather than compressed and essentialized “forcibly into some Grand Global Theory” (ibid.). |
