The Routledge Handbook of Ideology and Temporality

The Routledge Handbook of Ideology and Temporality begins from the premise that time, in all its manifestations, is crucial to understanding how ideology works. Each chapter focuses on a particular concept – an affect, process or condition – that shapes the socio-political environment and offers a distinctly temporal analysis of its ideological dimensions. Bringing together a diverse range of scholars from across the social sciences, the volume shows how meaning is both created and contested through the memory, narration and imagination of past, present and future. This handbook will be an essential reference for students and scholars of ideologies in a range of disciplines including political theory, international relations, history, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, geography and development studies. The Routledge Handbook of Ideology and Temporality is part of the mini-series Routledge Handbooks on Political Ideologies, Practices and Interpretations, edited by Michael Freeden.
