The Routledge Handbook of Ideology Analysis

This handbook offers a key interdisciplinary reference to advance ideology analysis.

Expert contributors from the social sciences and humanities focus on the sources and construction of ideology and related processes of ideological transmission across time and space in political and social realms. Authors examine diverse forms of ideological activity, focusing on their interplay with institutions, organizations and cultural practices at macro, meso and micro levels. Chapters analyse vectors of ideological creation and transmission such as political parties, social movements, think tanks, organised groups, and traditional and social media, as well as historical writing, literature and the visual arts. This volume demonstrates how a variety of complementary methods can aid our understanding of ideological creation, transmission and reception across macro, meso and micro fields.

The Routledge Handbook of Ideology Analysis is an authoritative reference for students and scholars in political and social theory, political science, sociology and anthropology, cultural studies, literature, communications and history.

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