This edited work is spurred by the 30-year anniversary of the
groundbreaking work by Paul Ricoeur, Lectures on Ideology and
Utopia (1986)-and the 40-year anniversary of the original lectures
(1975). Ricoeur took these concepts that continue to be enormously
important in social and political analysis and connected them in a
uniquely intricate dance. The ensuing interplay of these concepts
provides a framework for a more deft and subtle evaluation than is
common. Little has been done to engage Ricoeur's skill in
interpreting ideology and utopia or their creative tension, perhaps
due to his significant contributions in other areas. When one
combines Ricoeur's intricate analyses of ideology and utopia,
however, with his contributions in other areas of philosophy such
as hermeneutics, anthropology, embodiment, and philosophy of
religion, one has fertile grounds for reflection in many
directions. The essays in this book draw on these resources not
only to engage the strengths and weaknesses of Ricoeur's original
work, but they also expand his understanding in creative new
directions such as the social imaginary, embodiment, gender theory,
immigration, and extremist political rhetoric. The text will bring
to the fore how this aspect of Ricoeur's work has significance for
the wider twenty-first century political landscape. Just as his
original work, this book provides much-needed resources for
critique of each term, along with their relationship to one
another, while recognizing the positive dimension of their
function.
