| Course contents : | The first part of the course is dedicated to the definitions of the concept of ideology and to its history in the social sciences since the social reformers, the first ideologists, until the modern theories of ideology in sociology, political science, anthropology and philosophy. The second part of the course analyses the functions of distortion, integration and legitimization of the ideologies revealed by several authors and synthesized more particularly by P. Ricoeur. The last part considers the theoretical analysis of the ideologies through different currents in sociology and political science by means of reference texts concerning: - the place of the ideologies in the functionalist and phenomenological constructions, - the connections between sociology and political science on one hand and ideologies on the other hand, - finally the connections between the law and the ideology. | ||||||||

| Course objective : | The purpose of the course is to show the link between the social groups (families, political parties, social classes, ..) on one hand and the religious or political ideologies on the other hand. It is thus a question of showing that the ideologies as the systems of ideas, faiths and values are characterized by contents and specific functions in connection with the social groups which bear them and propagate them. The course also aims at showing that the ideologies are at the same moment systems of conception, description, explanation and interpretation of the determined world, at least partially, culturally and socially. At this end, the course tries to put in evidence the psycho-social mechanisms of support of ideas such as the effects claimed of communication and of situation, the heuristics of judgment and the structures of knowledge (micro-theories and cognitive schematic structures). | ||||||||
