Ideologies in Action: Morphological Adaptation and Political Ideas
explores how political ideas move across geographical, social and
chronological boundaries. Focusing on North American and European
case studies ranging from populist tax revolts through parenting
advice manuals to online learning environments, the contributors
propose new methods for understanding how political entrepreneurs,
intellectuals and ordinary citizens deploy and redefine ideologies.
All of these groups are consumers of ideology, drawing on
pre-existing, transnational ideological concepts and narratives in
order to make sense of the world. They are also all producers of
ideology, adapting and reconfiguring ideological material to
support their own political aims, desires and policy objectives. In
doing so, they combine common conceptual elements - interpretations
of freedom, order, national identity, democracy, community or
equality - with sentiments and imaginations deeply embedded in
cultural and social practice. To render these ideological practices
intelligible, the contributors to this volume blend conceptual
morphology, which emphasizes how meaning emerges in and through
connections between political ideas, with close readings of the
vernacular and experiential dimensions of ideologies in action.
This book offers new insights into how ideologies in varied social
and political settings can be decoded, and challenges hierarchical
distinctions between ideological 'producers' and 'consumers'. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of the Journal of Political Ideologies.
