Ideology is a difficult term to discipline. That is one of the things members of the Amherst Seminar learned when editing this collection during the last year. Our call for papers was our first concession to the difficulty of disciplining that term. The call for papers suggested ideology might be used to refer to (1) false consciousness associated with and produced by particular structures of domination; (2) systems of belief of a group or class; (3) coherent meanings encoded in social relations and institutions; (4) consciousness linked to material conditions; (5) contested areas of social life as opposed to those that are taken for granted; and (6) the processes by which meanings and ideas are produced. Not surprisingly, the call generated a broad range and a large number of responses.
