“This comprehensive collection of cutting-edge work confirms what its authors have been telling us for decades: reports of the end of ideology are greatly exaggerated. The category remains descriptive of how politics happens across diverse settings and provides a crucial conceptual framework for understanding contemporary political actors, institutions and movements. The wide-ranging, grounded, and theoretically innovative chapters collected here are a remarkable resource for thinking, research and teaching. This could not have come at better time.”Darin Barney, McGill University, Canada“This is a remarkably strong volume, invaluable for anyone interested in the history, sociology, and theory of contemporary ideologies. The texts gathered here shed new light on the ways ideologies are produced, disseminated, and received. In a world where ideas truly matter, this book makes a vital contribution to our collective capacity to navigate it.”Samuel Hayat, Sciences Po Paris, France“Ideology analysis has been a fertile and versatile field in the study of politics. This wide-ranging and cutting-edge volume beautifully demonstrates its continued vitality. It will be essential reading for students of politics in all its dimensions.”Cécile Laborde, University of Oxford, UK“Ideologies abound in the contemporary world but can rarely be reduced to a few canonical texts. This volume shows us how to study them as elements in a wider ecology of institutions, organisations and communications, from parties and think-tanks to workplaces and digital platforms. An invaluable contribution to renewing the field.” Jonathan White, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK
