“While it is not particularly controversial to say that life is unimaginable without some sense of time, the same cannot be said of ideology as traditionally understood in politics and international relations. Edited by a trio of stalwart scholars, this pathbreaking handbook sets out to change that, showing that – like time and temporality – ideologies and ideological processes run right through the heart of a number of social spaces, historical eras, and phenomena that we might not commonly think of as ideologically inflected. Using conceptual analysis to trace dynamic and contingent ideological forms, its chapters disclose the interplay of ideology and temporality in diverse affective and practical processes, as well as complex social milieux. Thanks to its expansive and pluralist chapters, readers of The Routledge Handbook of Ideology and Temporality will discover ideology and time working not only in new ways but also in unlikely and conventionally ‘apolitical’ places.”Andrew Hom, University of Edinburgh, UK“What does time have to do with ideology? Everything, says this outstanding book. Not only are ideologies dynamic rather than fixed; they are also informed by often unspoken ideas about origins, continuity, rupture, progress, decline, delay, inheritance, crisis, repetition, and the future. Essential reading for understanding how ideology works.”Alexandre Lefebvre, The University of Sydney, Australia
