== Ideology and Semiotic Theory ==

According to Bob Hodge's article in the Semiotic Encyclopedia Online [http://www.semioticon.com/seo/contents.html], Ideology "identifies a unitary object that incorporates complex sets of meanings with the social agents and processes that produced them. No other term captures this object as well as ‘ideology’. Foucault’s ‘episteme’ is too narrow and abstract, not social enough. His [[discourse]], popular because it covers some of ‘ideology’s’ terrain with less baggage,  is too confined to verbal systems. [[Worldview]] is too metaphysical, ‘propaganda’ too loaded. Despite or because of its contradictions, ‘ideology’ still plays a key role in semiotics oriented to social, political life" [http://www.semioticon.com/seo/I/ideology.html#].
