The Routledge Handbook on the Lived Experience of IdeologyEdition 1

This groundbreaking handbook reviews, consolidates, and develops the growth of scholarship on ideology as it occurs as part of our political landscape and within the systems of thought and belief that collectively constitute our political subjectivity.

It presents ideology functioning on the level of imagination and representation not only as a written and verbal language but also as expressed through architecture, art, media technologies, work, ritual practices, and other forms of material practice. It suggests how there are critical material aspects whenever human beings interact with the world and how ideology serves to map that interaction. Bringing together a multidisciplinary team of expert contributors, this handbook emphasizes the diversity of existing research and details the key developments in the area from across the globe.

The Routledge Handbook on the Lived Experience of Ideology is an authoritative key reference text for students, academics, and researchers of ideologies, critical theory, feminism, postcolonial theory, affect theory, political theory, critical legal studies, political science, and, more broadly, sociology, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and cultural and communication studies.

The Routledge Handbook on the Lived Experience of Ideology is part of the mini-series Routledge Handbooks on Political Ideologies, Practices and Interpretations, edited by Michael Freeden.
