How do ideologies form and sustain political identities? What are the main ideologies and political discourses that frame and organise social lives today? What are the main theories of ideology and discourse in contemporary political analysis? How can these theories help us to explain and evaluate key political processes?

Here, questions concerning the impact of ideological and symbolic processes on the formation of political discourses, identities and communities are of crucial importance. MA Ideology and Discourse Analysis introduces and evaluates a range of poststructuralist, post–Marxist, and psychoanalytical theories of ideology and discourse. Through a close reading of selected texts and a discussion of concrete political examples, we clarify the key concepts of this approach, and show how they can be used for political analysis.
