McCarney, H. J. "Science and ideology." Thesis, University of Sussex, 1987. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.380516.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to explicate the concepts of ideology and science; in particular, social science, in the work of Marx and in later Marxism. These concepts are standardly discussed in close association with each other in both Marxist and non-Marxist contexts. Yet, in the literature on Marxism at any rate, the kind of significance they have for each other has been widely misunderstood. Historically the most important expression of such misunderstanding is the tendency in writings influenced by, or within the ambit of, 'Western Marxism' to assume that the central question concerns the precise nature of the distinction between science and ideology as rival or alternative forms of cognition. Answers to this question have generally sought to distinguish them in terms of cognitive success and failure, with ideology as the dark shadow or distorted 'other' of science. It will be shown that in relation to Marx's thought this mode of question and answer is wholly misconceived. Science and ideology function there as categorially diverse notions which are such that the problem of how to demarcate their individual shares of a common field of reference cannot arise. Problems that do pressingly arise in connection with this body of thought include the following. How does science succeed in being ideological, when it does? More specifically, how is the ideological status of Marx's own social science to be conceived? To answer these questions one has to recognise the diversity of the ways in which ideology operates and to devise theoretical models which can capture that diversity. In what follows, three basic models, labelled for convenience 'semantic', 'syntactic', and 'dialectical', will be distinguished. It will be argued that the dialectical model is the appropriate one for understanding Marx's social science. The account of the concept of ideology given here is based on that contained in my book The Real World of Ideology. ' The account there has been abridged in order to bring out what are for present purposes its essential features. A copy of the book is enclosed with the thesis. The basic plan of the thesis is as follows. The first chapter is concerned, as an essential preliminary, with explicating the conception of ideology that operates in the work of Marx and in 'classical Marxism'. The second chapter deals with a basic misconception of this legacy which has a special relevance in the present context. This is the idea that ideology is essentially to be understood as an epistemological category. The way is then clear to pose the question of the nature and status of Marx's social science. This is done in the third chapter, where it also proves possible to dispose of the claims of the syntactic model as the basis for an answer. The semantic model is a much more serious candidate and requires extended discussion. The paradigmatic version of the model in Western Marxism is the conception of Marxist social science as a 'critical theory of society'. The fourth chapter discusses the prototype of such interpretations in the work of the 'Frankfurt School' theorists. The next two chapters (5 and 6) deal with more recent attempts by writers in the British analytical tradition to vindicate the project of Marxist social critique. The failure of the project in all these versions clears the ground for an inquiry into the claims of the dialectical model. This is pursued in chapters 7 and 8, paying close attention to the evidence on the subject yielded by Marx's writings. The result is to establish the dialectical scheme as the basic instrument for understanding his social theory. In the final chapter developments treated earlier at the level of relations between ideas are set in a historical context. This enables the dialectical thesis to be grasped in a richer, more solid setting, and enables it in turn to shed its light on the question of the overall shape of the Marxist intellectual tradition.

Badran, Dany. "Ideology through modality." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2002. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/12216/.
Full textAbstract:
This study is broadly concerned with the analysis of ideology in discourse. More specifically, it investigates the role modality plays in reflecting underlying ideologies as well as ideological inconsistencies in three practical analyses of discourse. Achieving these objectives is, I argue, dependent on a view of discourse which is not only functional but also pragmatic. The functional aspect of this view reflects the broad objectives of functional linguistics: i.e. relating linguistic structures to social structures. The pragmatic aspect reflects an emphasis on the need not to exclude 'the reader' from the process of interpretation. Whereas previous studies have either entirely neglected or presented an unsatisfactory account of the reader, the proposed functional-pragmatic approach to discourse analysis resolves this issue by allowing a systematic variance in interpretation. This is done in the light of a systematic account of modality which helps present a realistic and practical consideration of the role of the reader in approaching discourse analysis. Again, in line with a functional and pragmatic view of discourse, the argument put forward in this study is that all 'types' of discourse can be approached in a similar manner for critical analysis. Consequently, practical analyses of ideology through modality in three instances of discourse: literary texts, political texts and scientific texts are presented. The overall aim is to show how a systematic, functional and pragmatic analysis of modality is adequate in critically analysing the ideologies present in all texts.

Mertin, Raphael. "Architecture and Ideology." Thesis, KTH, Arkitektur, 2021. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-298803.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis work is a discussion on the relations between architecture and ideologies. Architecture possesses the unequivocal social and cultural power to produce representations of political coexistence through exemplary forms of built reality. As such, Architecture becomes a tool of communication; it can manifest power and embody ideologies.Throughout history we can observe how political ideas influenced our built reality. A period in which architecture became a crucial role in forming national identities, were the fascist movements in Italy and Germany. Still today, these ideas can be traced in form of buildings and architecture; a ‚problematic heritage‘ which has to be discussed. For my thesis project, the Congress Hall on the Nazi Party Rally Ground in Nuremberg served as a case study. A building which was constructed to manifest an abhorrent ideology, but also a building with greatest architectural qualities. The repulsive attitude towards Nazism cannot be challenged. However, the built heritage that manifests this attitude is still part of our built environment. This statement lead me to my thesis question; How can a building be freed from its subservient ideologies and forces, it was built for? A very sensitive and difficult question. Architecture, buildings and material can not be fascistic, but intentions can be. The only possibility to dissociate the building from the ideology it was built for, is to associate it with new ones. My proposal should not be understood as a final solution, but much rather as an opportunity to test new strategies and learnings. In the design process I took the freedom I have as a student; I tested totalitarian design methods, focused on the qualities of the building and studied the question of the autonomy of architecture.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims at highlighting the ideological implications of school development as a discursive practice. More comprehensively the aim is also contributing to rearrangements and shifts in perspective when school development is the matter. One of today´s most widespread and dominant discourses are said to be the one which concerns development, and according to many interpreters, development is one of the most prominent commandments in the modern as well as the post-modern narratives. School development as a concept has for the last 15 years established itself firmly in both Swedish school policy and in Swedish school research. It may sound obvious and commendable but also such axioms may be questioned. The design of the study lies in the field of discourse research and more specifically within critical discursive psychology, which draws on both a post-structural and a postmodern conception of discourse. The study is based on the idea that the ideological potential of arguments occurs, develops and changes in discursive practices and not anywhere else or at any abstract level. The starting point is a perception that certain issues and topics within e.g. conversation, depending on time and context will be seen as controversial, while others will be taken for granted. One part of the basis of the study consists of texts with a direct bearing on a specific school research and development project which took place between 2003 and 2008. Participating partners in the collaboration were the Swedish National Agency for School Improvement, Karlstad University, Dalarna University and 13 municipalities in Sweden. Another part of the basis of the study consists of texts in which ‘school development’ is considered and negotiated in more general terms, usually without reference to the project. All texts derive from the period 2003 – 2006. The analysis shows that school development as discursive practice often rely on a set of stereotypical expressions and ways of arguing. Stereotypes, which among other things, tend to divide people into suitable and non-suitable, capable and non-capable, which may be regarded as a somewhat unexpected implication of school development. The material has been dramatized by an intrigue inspired by the sociologist Zygmunt Bauman´s texts. He has written extensively on the modern in relation to the postmodern and about the ambivalence which resides in between and school development as discursive practice can be understood in much the similar way.

Luna, David Juarez. "Democracy, taxation and ideology." Thesis, University of Essex, 2012. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.573740.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on understanding the impact of different factors on affecting the tax rate in a democracy. The first model traces the influence of ideology on determining the tax rate in the presence of political competition. The main outcome is that when the salience of the ideology increases, the cohort of voters with the median ideological view become the swing voters and the equilibrium tax rate is then designed to benefit that cohort of voters. The second model focuses on the impact of inner group altruism on taxation. It establishes that, in a democracy, a minority elite, where altruism is present among its members, will be more influential and the equilibrium policy may reflect more the preferences of those elite. There are two main analytical results. First, the social group that exhibits higher inner altruism prefers a lower tax rate. Then the higher the inner altruism the rich exhibit, the lower is the tax rate they enjoy. Second, if both social groups increase their inner altruism by the same amount, then the equilibrium tax rate reduces. The third model makes precise the relationship between inequality of income and a social security tax rate. The model proposes a stationary overlapping- generations economy, in which all individuals currently alive vote every period on social security. There is ideology diversity. The main analytical result is that, in equilibrium, the generation that is less ideological benefits from lower inequality of income. We find that the less ideological generation enjoys a larger allocation of consumption and pushes the size of social security to be in its own favour.

Frowe, Ian. "Language, ideology and education." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1999. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/50486/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the relationship between language and social reality. The position argued for is one which sees language as having a constitutive role to play in the formation and maintenance of the social world. It elaborates and develops a view expressed by Quentin Skinner, namely, that language and the social world are mutually supportive and exist in a state of dynamic interaction. Because language has this constitutive role in relation to the social world attention to the use of language is important for the language we employ will be a significant factor in determining the nature of that world. The notion of ideology is defined in a critical sense as 'malign decontestation', i. e., the presentation of that which is contestable as if there were only one legitimate perspective. The concepts of absolutism and universalisation are taken as key ideological markers. Given the constitutive role of language, the identification of ideological language becomes important because aspects of the social world which are informed by such a language will reflect the errors inherent in the linguistic structures themselves. One of the central arguments of the thesis is that ideological language often arises when insufficient attention is paid to the ontological differences between activities whose subject matter is the natural world and those whose subject matter is the social world. There is a focus on educational issues because the impetus for this thesis arose out of a growing unease with the nature of the language used in relation to this topic. Although a concern with the language of education is not uncommon, the full significance of the language we use in this area is often unacknowledged because the necessary theoretical background is absent. It is the main purpose of this thesis to provide a philosophical justification for this concern.

Constant, Thomas. "Possible worlds and ideology." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2017. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/107744/.
Full textAbstract:
The broad aim of this thesis is to explore fruitful connections between ideology theory and the philosophy of possible worlds (PW). Ideologies are full of modal concepts, such as possibility, potential, necessity, essence, contingency and accident. Typically, PWs are articulated for the analysis and illumination of modal concepts. That naturally suggests a method for theorising ideological modality, utilising PW theory. The specific conclusions of the thesis proffer a number of original contributions to knowledge: 1) PWs should only be used for explication and not as (intrinsic) evidence or criteria of assessment in ideology theory. The estimation of (e.g.) utopian possibilities, human essences and freedoms must be determined by extrinsic criteria. PWs can serve only as a window or means of expression but not as a set of evaluative premises. 2) For this purpose, a modified version of Lewisian genuine realism (GR), with its device of counterpart theory, is the best approach; the alternative theories risk constricting possibilities or smuggling in assumptions that ought to be objects of analysis in ideology theory. This is instructive, since ideology theorists are prone to pick and choose favoured aspects of modal philosophy without further argument. 3) Conclusions (1) and (2) suggest the adoption of GR or fictionalist GR. Overall, the actualist options are less adequate. Fictionalism, by contrast, is a worthwhile contender, but it too presents comparative weaknesses which reinforce GR’s standing as a potent challenger to the modal metaphysician. Therefore, this thesis presents additional reasons (to Lewis’s) to think GR true. The conclusions are not knockdown, and I draw out incentives and consequences for adopting alternative stances. The various chapters also provide specific details for comprehending and debating ideological modals.

Straub, Bernhard Heinrich. "Ideology and information systems." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 1991. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/1128/.
Full textAbstract:
Ideology is a political and a sociological term. Thinking about 'system' makes the results of sociological thought appear relevant. The understanding of information systems (IS) as social systems or as phenomena in a social context justifies, therefore, the use of the concept of ideology in the context of IS. As a consequence of this application a series of hypotheses can be formulated about IS and the study of IS. Some of these are taken up in a thought experiment. This experiment is presented in a dialectical mould, consisting of thesis, antithesis and synthesis. In the thesis, the application of the concept of ideology is advocated because it is seen as contributing relevant knowledge to the study of IS. In the antithesis, the above hypothesis is opposed, and consequently the application of the concept of ideology is not advocated. In the synthesis, the application of the concept of ideology is put into a different perspective, where the importance of knowledge is substituted by an emphasis on thinking. Thinking is introduced as the touchstone of relevant knowledge. Its elusive nature is responsible for the elusiveness of claims in systems-thinking and -practice.

Stoica, Ruxandra-Iulia. "Ideology of urban conservation." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/9525.
Full textAbstract:
Although urban heritage has been a research field in the focus of scholars’ attention since the concepts of restoration and rehabilitation of monuments had been extended to entire areas such as historical city centres, before the mid‐twentieth century, architectural studies approached towns only through individual historical monuments, and historical studies only through juridical, political, and religious institutions or economic and social structures. In consequence, urban space as the manifestation of the urban phenomenon in its complexity has been largely ignored by the practice of urban conservation. This thesis aims to be a theoretical approach to the field of urban conservation, revealing its place at the crossing of history, architecture, urbanism, geography, philosophy, and anthropology. The creation of place, its understanding, the meaning that places hold for human identity and the way they shape us in return. The basis of such an enquiry is set by looking at attitudes towards the historic fabric over time and the origins of the notion of ‘urban conservation’ in its European context. The concentration of economic, social and cultural exchanges over long periods of time, which characterises traditional urban cultures, gives the value of historical areas in towns. Therefore, the history of urban development provides a substantial contribution towards the protection, conservation, and restoration policy of historic towns and urban areas as well as towards their development and adaptation to contemporary life. The term ‘integrated conservation’ emerged as a response to these changes in conservation’s relationship to heritage and its context. This broadened image of heritage enables a better understanding of how human activity has shaped the urban fabric and of how conservation can be perceived today as a component of management of urban change. This raises a number of theoretical and methodological issues, which are discussed in detail in this thesis: how do we understand the historic urban areas and how do we elicit their cultural values in order to protect and use these values. This research is therefore concerned with the origin and nature of ideas relevant to urban conservation, rather than with what is commonly regarded as being a prescriptive doctrine in heritage conservation generally, and indeed urban conservation. In reality, this latter view of the theoretical and philosophical body of research in conservation is hindering its theoretical development as a discipline and has an undesired, stalling effect on practice development. This is why this research aims to provide tools for thinking about specific conservation issues, not self‐sufficient theories. The references span a very wide timescale because of the inherent preoccupation of humans with their own inhabiting of the world, which is ultimately the frame in which urban settlements are inscribed.

Full textAbstract:
Falupartiet anser sig själva att inte styras av någon av de klassiska ideologierna, de anser då att de styrs av något annat som har att göra med vad som är det bästa för Falu kommun, men vad betyder det och vad innebär det ideologiskt? Det bör innebära att Falupartiet är styrda av en lokal ideologi? Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera fram Falupartiets lokala ideologi för att skapa en större förståelse för den. Uppsatsens frågeställningar vill besvara vilka av de klassiska ideologierna som styr de nationella partierna som även styr Falupartiet, även om Falupartiet förnekar sig styrda av dem. Frågeställningarna vill även undersöka om det kan finnas spår av lokalpopulistiska drag i att endast påstå sig styras av lokala intressen. Detta kommer att göras med en kvalitativ diskursanalytisk metod och med hjälp av teorier om ideologisk analys där ideologin delas upp i huvudpunkter för att analyseras separat. Analysen kommer att göras endast på Falupartiets textmaterial från deras hemsida. Analysresultaten visar att Falupartiets ideologi innehåller en stor blandning av flera olika ideologier vilket samtidigt kan ses som populistiskt. Falupartiet har ingen extrem ideologi men deras ideologiska kärna bör ses som högerkonservativ, med vissa populistiska drag.The local Falun party is claiming not to be steered by any of the classical ideologies that the national parties have, they claim that they are steered by something else that has to do with what is the best for Falun community, but what does that mean and what kind of ideology is that about? It must be some kind of local ideology? The purpose of this paper is to analyse the Falunparty’s ideology to create a bigger understanding about it. It will do that thru the method of discourse analysis and with help of theories about ideological analysis where you separate the ideology into different headlines. And this analyse will only be done on the Faluparty’s text material from their website. The questionnaire’s in this paper wants to answer to what kind of ideology the local ideology is made of by comparing it to the national classical ideologies that the party is claiming not to be steered by. This paper is also questioning if this local ideology has populistic undertones. The results show that the Faluparty has a mix of all kinds of ideologies, which in itself can be seen as populistic. They do not have any extreme ideology, but their primary ideological nature is slightly right-wing conservative, thus with a populistic behaviour.

Resumo: Este trabalho tem como objeto de análise a perspectiva de Max Weber em relação ao socialismo. Esse grande clássico do pensamento social sustentou posição muito crítica em relação à exequibilidade do projeto socialista. Mais precisamente, este trabalho delineia e analisa a crítica weberiana ao socialismo em sua dupla abrangência: Weber contrapõe-se tanto à ideia de que a emancipação humana seria atingida em uma sociedade socialista estabelecida, quanto às próprias possibilidades de êxito de uma revolução social que caminhasse no sentido da construção dessa sociedade. Inicialmente revelados os argumentos weberianos que sustentam tal postura, passa-se à sua subsequente discussão crítica à luz do contexto histórico na qual o pensador alemão os forjou. A cadeia de valores que norteavam o autor - base de sua postura político-ideológica - parece influenciar sobremaneira seu ponto de vista sobre o modo de produção socialista, o qual via apenas como extensão radicalizada da dominação burocrática, algo já existente em seu predecessor, o capitalismo moderno. Tomando precisamente essa ideia como central, não vislumbrava saída para a "jaula de ferro" da burocracia, apresentando-a como algo inexorável na modernidade, seja no capitalismo, seja no seu suposto antípoda, o socialismo. Por fim, muito embora desdobramentos históricos das experiências "socialistas" tenham dado razão a Weber, apresentam-se alguns elementos críticos à elaboração teórica weberiana, problematizando-se alguns aspectos de sua argumentação, cuja força e influência são inegáveis. Para isso, textos variados de sua obra são percorridos e analisados, embora tome como documento central a célebre Conferência sobre o Socialismo, proferida por Weber em 1918
Abstract: This work aims to analyse Max Weber's perspective in relation to the socialism. This great classic of the social thought argued against the feasibility of the socialist project from a very critical point of view. More precisely, this work delineates and analyses the double biased Weberian criticism towards socialism: Weber not only opposes the idea that the human emancipation would be reached in an established socialist society, but also criticises the possibilities of success of a social revolution that could lead to that sort of society. Unveiled the arguments that underpin Weber's criticism, the subsequent critical discussion of the author's reasons is addressed in the light of the historical background in which the German thinker has come up with them. The chain of values that guided the author, which provides the basis for his political-ideological position, seems to exert great influence on the view he holds on socialism, which he has only seen as an extensive form of the bureaucratic domination, something that has already existed in its predecessor, the modern capitalism. Taking that very idea as pivotal, that negative view of socialism, Weber has considered there was no way out for the "cage of iron" of bureaucracy, thus claiming it was something inexorable in modern times, either in capitalism or in socialism, capitalism's supposed antipodal. Finally, even though some historical developments of "the socialist" experiences give reason to Weber's arguing, the Weberian theorisation and his arguing, whose strength and influence are undeniable, are questioned here based on some critical elements. In order to do so, a wide range of Weber's works are browsed and analysed; the famous Conference on Socialism, though, proffered by Weber in 1918, is here taken as the fundamental document for research

Full textAbstract:
Despite continued polarization along political party lines, it remains unclear how differences in political ideology impact the choices consumers make. The results of seven studies indicate that political ideology profoundly influences the way consumers think and behave. Liberals and conservatives are systematically drawn to distinct choice preferences where liberals prefer hedonic, novel, and desirable options, while conservatives prefer utilitarian, status quo, and feasible options. These findings are robust for multiple measures of political ideology across multiple choice sets. Differences in behavior are explained by the amount of deliberation used for a given decision. Liberals deliberate more than conservatives as they are more open to information while conservatives have a lower tolerance for ambiguous information. Implications for consumers, marketers, and policy makers are provided.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the public image of Thomas Jefferson as recorded in his major life portraits. It consults the traditions that surrounded eighteenth-century portraiture and the history of the portrait as a means of expressing authority, power, and personal interest. This study contends that Jefferson worked within these traditions and fashioned and refashioned an image that promoted his vision of American republicanism. Therefore, it places each portrait within the context of the sociopolitical environment in which it was created and considers Jefferson’s political motives and actions against these recorded images. This departs from previous works that stopped with an identification of the life portraits, a discussion of the artist, and an evaluation of the merits of the portrait as a work of art. Rather it builds upon these earlier studies to approach Jefferson’s use of the portrait to manage his image and advance his political and ideological aims for the newly formed nation. The goal of this thesis is to offer an enlarged and diverse assessment of this leading founder of the American republic through the public image he created in his life portraits.

Adams, Ian S. "Philosophy, ideology and educational theory." Thesis, Durham University, 1987. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/6681/.
Full textAbstract:
This work is concerned with the nature and scope of ideology. It begins with an examination of the relationship between theory and practice in the relatively uncontentious area of education. An analysis of different kinds of educational theory reveals the nature of the most comprehensive form of such theorising to be problematic. It is argued that a solution to this problem depends upon the solution to the wider problem of the nature of political ideology, to which the discussion therefore shifts. Existing theories of political ideology being deemed inadequate, a fresh start is made by showing how this form of theory combines the descriptive and the evaluative in a particular way and with particular logical consequences. These consequences characterise ideology as a peculiar form of ethical understanding, involving a distinctive way of thinking and having a logical structure of its own. However, these characteristics which make ideology distinctive are not inherently political, and the possibility of there being several different forms of ideology is discussed. With these conclusions it becomes possible to return to the problem of comprehensive educational theory and show that it is composed of a number of forms of ideology, some related to political ideology and some not. The work concludes with some reflections upon the extent to which ideology is an inevitable component of all thinking about human affairs.

Allsobrook, Christopher John. "'On genealogy and ideology criticism'." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2011. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/6319/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis identifies and explains a fundamental philosophical problem of self-implication in Marxian ideology criticism that has led to its misuse and rejection in social theory and political philosophy. I argue that Friedrich Nietzsche's development of genealogy as a method of social criticism complements ideology criticism in a way that overcomes this problem, by addressing it explicitly, rather than trying to avoid it. In making this argument, I hope to bridge a widely perceived gap between Nietzsche's and Michel Foucault's genealogical approaches to social criticism, on the one hand, and Marxian ideology criticism on the other. The conflict between these approaches has been exaggerated in contemporary academic literature, to the loss of invaluable contributions Nietzsche and Foucault make to the theory and practice of ideology criticism. I begin by defining ideology in way that, I demonstrate, takes into account the use of the notion by Karl Marx and the early Frankfurt School Critical Theorists, Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno. I identify two central components of ideology, namely, an epistemic aspect, regarding illusion, and a functional aspect, which links ideology to its role in maintaining oppression. I also defend the notion of ideology against major objections to each of these aspects. In Chapter 4, I introduce the problem of self-implication that, I take it, poses the greatest challenge to the coherence of ideology criticism. The remainder of the thesis examines two alternative ways of dealing with this problem, namely immanent and transcendent criticism. I explain the weaknesses with each approach and, in doing so, show why Marx and Adorno each succumb to the problem of ideological self-implication. In the final chapter I argue that Nietzsche's method of genealogy is compatible with ideology criticism and can complement such criticism, to overcome the problems that have been examined.

Full textAbstract:
Islamist terrorism has, in academic and lay discourse, been misunderstood in the register of 'extremism,' 'radicalism' and 'fundamentalism.' The concepts of 'terrorism' and 'ideology' have frequently been misused as pejoratives to prevent understanding of Islamist terrorism. This does not mean that they are beyond repair and we attempt to re-establish the terms as useful critical concepts for understanding the Islamist movement. This study takes the Islamist ideology seriously it is comprehensive, complex and internally coherent. We claim that Islamist movements and the terrorism they engage in can be usefully understood by examining the historical evolution of the ideology. In particular we examine the dynamic interplay between the theory and practice of Islamist movements. Using the tools of social and political philosophy the study critically examines the historical and intellectual evolution of the Islamist ideology and movement from the inception of the Society of Muslim Brothers in 1920s Egypt, the radical philosophy of Sayyid Qutb in the 1950s and 60s through to al-Qaeda and the 9/11 attacks.

This dissertation examines Scottish unionist political thought and intellectual history in the period from 1885-1886 to 1965. It provides an analytical examination of unionist positions examining such areas as political history, ecclesiology, sectarianism, historiography and unionist-nationalist sentiment. It contextualises unionist thought within Scotland's history and offers findings based on both archival and primary sources research along with a thorough background of historiography. It both contextualises and examines the complexities of Scottish unionism during this vital period between the Liberal Party's split over Irish Home Rule until the reorganisation of the Scottish Unionist Party in 1965. It illuminates the spectrum of unionist discourse during this period and demonstrates the complexities of Scotland's constitutional and cultural relationship with the rest of the United Kingdom.

Full textAbstract:
The community mediation movement has arisen in response to criticisms of the American judicial system. Advocates claim it can counter the role of law in reproducing ideologies that disadvantage subordinate groups, such as women. But this potential relies in part on the ideological positions of the mediators themselves. This study evaluates the counter-hegemonic potential of community mediation in regard to a gendered social power structure through an ideological analysis of sixteen male volunteer community mediators in Tucson, Arizona. Arguing against a narrow economic or gender reductionist analytical approach, this study relies on a neo-Gramscian perspective to uncover the multiple factors that determine this ideology. What emerges is a gender ideology that at once contains a "feminist" critique of social power structures yet is filled with contradictions. This implies that the community mediation movement must continue to struggle if it is to become a genuinely counter-hegemonic movement.

This dissertation explores how the various concepts of Nature, sustainability
and ecotourism relate to the design ideology and practice in planning for,
implementation of, and management of a case in coastal Queensland,
namely Kingfisher Bay Resort and Village. (KBRV describes itself as
Queensland's first "ecotourist resort").
The concept of "sustainability" is used as a theoretical framework for relating
the similar and compatible concepts of "ecological sustainability",
"sustainable tourism", and •ecologically sustainable tourism". In particular,
the concept of ecological sustainability is presented as the crux of the
principles supporting ecotourism, The characteristics and interpretations of
ecotourism are then analysed in terms of their applicability to the concept of
an "ecotourism resort", and a comparison is made between "destination
resorts" and "environmentally responsible resorts•. The case emerges as
an example of the latter.
The case is also presented and evaluated in detail according to Bull's (1991)
Sustainable Tourism Model, in order to establish any inconsistencies/
conflicts and/or potentials between design ideology and practice in support
of the concept of sustainable tourism - the principle underpinning the
concept of "ecotourism".
In conclusion, the dissertation makes recommendations to design
professionals (particularly landscape architects and building architects),
developers and managers about practice methodology in the planning,
design and management of resort developments in environmentally sensitive
locations. These recommendations highlight actions which are required in
order to provide a genuinely integrated and sustainable "ecotourism
development".

Resumo: A partir do cotejamento entre a obra literária Pride and Prejudice (1813) e sua transcriação cinematográfica homônima de 2005, buscamos observar, por meio das reflexões de Volochínov, Medviédev e Bakhtin, as diferenças e similaridades refratadas nos discursos sobre a mulher em cada obra. A hipótese deste trabalho é que há diferenças nas ideologias refratadas em cada texto por conta da diferença de contexto sócio-histórico e ideológico em que se criam as obras (século XIX e século XXI). Utilizando uma metodologia dialógica, propomos a análise de algumas cenas que foram selecionadas a partir de dois eixos temáticos: a educação feminina (em oposição ao que se entende, principalmente no romance, como educação masculina) e o casamento (visto como contrato social). Em virtude do filme estabelecer-se como uma re-criação estável do romance, é possível o encontro de equivalência nas cenas das obras e, a partir disso, observar no filme as refrações ideológicas dos discursos num contexto muito próximo ao que fora escrito no romance. Para a análise, mobilizamos alguns conceitos importantes para a filosofia bakhtiniana, como signo, ideologia, autor-criador, forças centrífugas e centrípetas e, por se tratar de obras de arte, a dupla refração. Após observar e destacar os valores ideológicos refratados nos trechos do livro e do filme, a partir da análise das cenas selecionadas, é possível afirmar que se mantêm a posição ideológica de cada personagem propostas no livro na criação cinematográfica. Em geral, as vozes que refratam ideologias de forças centrípetas no livro também o fazem no filme; porém, na obra cinematográfica, há a intensificação das vozes que buscam a pluralização e a instabilidade dos valores sociais. No filme, a protagonista, Elizabeth, continua sendo questionadora, mas de forma mais incisiva. Esse recurso atualiza os...
Abstract: From the collating between the literary work Pride and Prejudice (1813) and his homonymous film transcreation made in 2005, we seek to observe, through the reflections made by Volochínov, Medviédev and Bakhtin, differences and similarities in the women discourse's refraction in each work. The hypothesis is that there are differences on the refracted ideologies in each text considering the socio-historical context and ideological differences in which the works are created (nineteenth and twenty-first century). Using a dialogic methodology we propose to analyze some scenes that were selected from two themes: female education (as opposed to what is meant, especially in the novel, as male education) and marriage (seen as a social contract). As the film established itself as a stable re-creation of the novel, the meeting of equivalence in the scenes of the works is possible and, from that, we observe that the discourses' refractions on the film are in a very close connection to the refractions that were in the novel. For the analysis, we mobilize some important concepts for Bakhtin's philosophy, as sign, ideology, author-creator, centrifugal and centripetal forces, and as we are dealing with art, the double refraction. After observing and highlighting the refracted ideological values in parts of the book and in the film scenes, through the analysis, it is clear that the ideological position of each character in the book remains in the filmmaking. In general, the voices that refract ideologies of centripetal forces in the book also do it in the film; however, in the cinematographic work, there is the intensification of voices that seek the pluralization and the instability of social values. In the film, the protagonist, Elizabeth, is still questioning, but more forcefully. This feature updates the speeches of the book, giving the twenty-first century partners a close response to...

O presente estudo busca proceder a uma análise crítica da técnica de ponderação desenvolvida por Robert Alexy. A edificação desse arcabouço teórico encontra um solo fecundo no paradigma linguístico sob cariz argumentativo e o pós-positivismo, enquanto modelos, respectivamente, de superação do ideal moderno submetido à racionalidade técnica atrelada a ideologia, bem como do império positivista das primeiras construções jurídicas modernas. Nesse cenário de emergência, o pensamento proposto pelo jusfilósofo é recepcionado como uma construção teórica adequada para resolução do grande nó górdio do direito na contemporaneidade, qual seja, a colisão dos direitos fundamentais. Todavia, esse estudo proporciona um libelo à vertente teórica erguida, pois se visualiza que ainda permanece na diretriz alexyana referências que se ajustam à perspectiva ligada aos vetores modais entendidos como solapados pela reviravolta lingüística e pós-positivismo, ou seja, presos a referenciais, sinteticamente, da filosofia da consciência, da racionalidade técnica e da discricionariedade julgadora. Assim, busca-se uma blindagem a uma postura discricionária na aplicação dos princípios, em prol para uma decisão comunicativamente, de fato, racional que se coaduna com o respeito a garantias dos princípios de direitos fundamentais e a separação de poderes que dão a natureza de um Estado como Democrático de Direito, objetivando-se demonstrar que o respeito ao Estado Democrático de Direito e as alicerces que os fundamentam necessitam de uma teoria dos princípios a partir dos pressupostos fundamentais da intersubjetividade da ética do discurso em Habermas, basicamente, o princípio de universalização ‘U’, o princípio do discurso ‘D’, e também o entendimento intersubjetivo que deve ocorrer no agir comunicativo, em que o processo de entendimento mútuo, numa racionalidade dialógica, pode levar a um acordo consensualmente reflexivo. Ajunta-se a esse entendimento a necessidade de complementaridade por uma perspectiva tópico-problemática em insinua, positivamente, um deslocamento de partida da compreensão Jurídica.

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo estudar a obra Marxismo e filosofia da linguagem e entender como se constitui a relação entre linguagem e ideologia. Para estabelecer como se organiza esta relação, dividiremos este trabalho em três partes. A primeira expõe o debate que a obra faz com três importantes adversários: i) a ortodoxia marxista; ii) o neokantismo, em específico, um dos membros desta escola filosófica, Ernst Cassirer e, por fim, iii) Ferdinand de Saussure. O segundo capítulo expõe de que maneira é construído no interior de Marxismo o conceito de linguagem e como esta surge como um projeto de uma filosofia marxista da linguagem. Para isso, são analisados temas como: a consciência, significação e analise da ideologia. No terceiro capítulo, será explicado de que forma é colocado em prática a tentativa de aplicação do método sociológico por meio da análise do discurso direto e indireto. Após as explicações desses capítulos serão realizadas as considerações finais.
This dissertation intends to study the book Marxism and the Philosophy of Language and to understand how the relationship between language and ideology is established. To do this we will divide this text in three parts. The first one presents the book’s exchange with three important antagonists: i) Marxist orthodoxy; ii) Neokantianism, particularly one of the participants of this philosophical school, Ernst Cassirer; and iii) Ferdinand de Saussure. The second Chapter presents the way the concept of language is established inMarxism and how this constitutes the project of a Marxist philosophy of language. In the third Chapter, we explain how the attempted application of the sociological method is putted into practice by means of an analysis of the direct and indirect speech. After that, we present our final considerations.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines ideological discourse in contemporary Egypt. It investigates a number of discourses in terms of the meanings they generate and the role or function they play in the maintenance or transformation of relations of power in society. The analysis is guided by a semiotic view of ideology, that is, ideology understood as a system of representation which operates through language and other signifying practices.Central to our understanding of the effects of discourse on power relations is the conception of representation as an autonomous level of 'reality' in relation to other levels. The implication of such a conception is that meanings produced in discourse are not to be validated or adequated against the 'real', but are to be analyzed in terms of their interrelations with socio-economic and political structures, and in terms of their appropriation by social forces in positions of struggle. In this sense, it is relevant to look at the rules which govern the formation of the systems of representation; rules which are specific to the discursive formations. Within the framework of this study, the key mechanisms operative in discourse and ideology are validation and interpellation. Throughout the project, attention is paid to the role these mechanisms play in the production of subjects and the construction of subject positions. That is, particular emphasis is put on how ideological interpellations construct or constitute positions of resistance, struggle, domination, acquiesence which are validated or rejected by the receiver. This returns to the process of appropriation of meanings and the functionalization of discourse.
The analysis proceeds through an examination of the narrative and discursive structures of the various discourses under study. It is also concerned with the narrative programs which underlie the discourses as an act or intervention, focusing on the positions of speakers and receivers, the modalization of subject positions and their inscription in relations of power. In treating the Egyptian case, discourses from two socio-political conjunctures are analyzed: one a juncture of populist rupture marked by the consolidation of the revolutionary program, the other a juncture of socio-economic disintegration.
The study examines how the conjunctures manifest themselves in discourse. In this way, an attempt is made to see how the particular conjunctures are marked in the functionalization of certain terms and the imposition of certain ideologemes. The work seeks to demonstrate how this is linked to the appropriation of discourse by social forces. With regard to the first juncture, the discursive and narrative structures which underlie the nationalist discourse are identified. Within the later conjuncture, these structures are revealed in relation to the Islamist discourse, while an analysis of the secular discourse is also carried out. The general objective is to situate the process of the construction of meanings in relation to the socio-economic and political conditions which exist in the particular junctures of discourse production.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to provide a critical re-evaluation of politics and ideology in the work of D.H. Lawrence. The thesis brings a number of authors (including the Marquis de Sade, Robert Louis Stevenson, H. G. Wells and Raymond Chandler) into dialogue with Lawrence - fIrstly in order to interrogate Lawrentian assumptions, but also to relocate a writer often seen as being eccentric to literary circles and to society generally. My Introduction surveys two broad schools of Lawrence criticism: first, the 'Lawrentian' kind, which inspects Lawrence's fiction through an often uncritical appreciation of the non-fictional writings - his 'philosophy' - and consequently is often reduced to an echo of the primary material. While recognising, in the manner of my second, socialist school of criticism, Lawrence's philosophy as ideology, a challenge is also made to the conventional left-wing judgement that such ideology indicates Lawrence's political 'failure'. Chapters One and Two provide extended analyses of, respectively, the novels Women in Love and Kangaroo: the first of these novels sees Lawrentian individuals attempting to 'solve' the problem of an oppressive industrial society by escaping it; the second shows the shortcomings of the 'freedom' won by such a supposed escape. Examining the contradictions of Lawrence's individualism, I argue the case that these texts present a rich commentary upon the economic and social contradictions of capitalism. My third chapter takes a broader view of Lawrence's shorter, ironical and satirical works, and argues that an openly satirical mode allowed Lawrence to break free from his contradictory 'philosophy' and engage in a critical dialogue with his own work that is much more penetrating than any critique by his Lawrentian admirers. Finally, the conclusion looks at the persisting problem of the 'Lawrentian' attitude in Lawrence studies, and at the enduring significance of Lawrence to our postmodem world.
