| Abstract | |
This dissertation is a theoretical study based on Karl Marx's approach which aims to explain how ideology can be an important influence (or even decisive) to the movement of social systems and to the course of history - so that ideology acts as a kind of social force, and can be accordingly recognized and described as such. As there is an absence of systematic conception of ideology by Marx himself, we adopted a specific interpretation of his work and considered it through a sort of conducting wire which is an element of unity to this work, as the single way to answer the questioning above. Hence, we joined Lukácsian School and seek to describe the ideological phenomenon in general terms, that is to say we characterize ideology by its social function. In other words, being part of social totality built by human activity (named labor in Marxian terms), ideology is related to the aspects of organization in society and emerges in order to intervene in issues, conflicts, dilemmas etc. existing only in collective life. Once apprehended in the unique features of its insertion, the next step leads to the consideration that ideology only can perform its social function if it reaches the living men in society, making them adjust and conform their actions, behavior and relationships among themselves in consonance with the respective ideological representation in question. Consequently, in order to elucidate the dynamics of ideological phenomenon - in this case: to explain how ideology can operate as a social force - it becomes necessary to expose how it promotes an articulation between aspects of everyday life and the values encompassed therein, along with the call for an existence beyond the individual level. It is also important to add that such articulation is due to and only possible from the objective conditions in place (AU) | |
