The concept of solidarity in anarchist thoughtNightingale, John R. January 2016 (has links)
This thesis makes an original contribution to knowledge by presenting an analysis of anarchist conceptions of solidarity. Whilst recent academic literature has conceptualised solidarity from a range of perspectives, anarchist interpretations have largely been marginalised or ignored. This neglect is unjustified, for thinkers of the anarchist tradition have often emphasised solidarity as a key principle, and have offered original and instructive accounts of this important but contested political concept. In a global era which has seen the role of the nation state significantly reduced, anarchism, which consists in a fundamental critique and rejection of hierarchical state-like institutions, can provide a rich source of theory on the meaning and significance of solidarity. The work consists in detailed analyses of the concepts of solidarity of four prominent anarchist thinkers: Michael Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin, Murray Bookchin and Noam Chomsky. The analytic investigation is led by Michael Freeden s methodology of ideological morphology , whereby ideologies are viewed as peculiar configurations of political concepts, which are themselves constituted by sub-conceptual idea-components. Working within this framework, the analysis seeks to ascertain the way in which each thinker attaches particular meanings to the concept of solidarity, and to locate solidarity within their wider ideological system. Subsequently, the thesis offers a representative profile of an anarchist concept of solidarity, which is characterised by notions of universal inclusion, collective responsibility and the social production of individuality.

Ni Dios, Ni Patria, Ni Amo : A study on the Spanish Anarchist ideology from 1868 to 2023Blázquez Marttínez, Lucía January 2023 (has links)
Anarchism is an ideology based on the working-class consciousness and its aim is to destroy any authoritarian institution and to live horizontally. In the Spanish context, Anarchism had a strong presence primarily during the three first decades of the 1900’s. This thesis argues that Spanish Anarchism has been exposed to ideological changes and strives to analyse which elements that have undergone ideological transformation and which ones that remained stable through four periods: the arrival of Anarchism to Spain (1868 – 1881), the Golden Ages of Anarchism (1931 –1939), the Francoist era and Transition to democracy (1939-1980) and the current situation (2000 – 2023). To answer this question, this thesis has combined Michael Freeden’s theory on morphological ideologies with the ideological analysis method of Kristina Boréus and Göran Bergström to get four models that depict semantically Spanish Ideology through different anarchist sources: manifestos, congress agreements, press articles, documentaries, official webpages, etc. The results show that the core concepts of the ideology remained the same from the 19th century and onwards, however with some additions; changes usually appear in the adjacent and peripheral concepts as adaptations to the historical contexts.

Le sionisme : une analyse morphologiqueCôté, Jean-Sébastien 06 1900 (has links)
Le sionisme est un mouvement politique et une idéologie nationale. Son histoire, si elle est celle d'une libération nationale, est aussi celle d'une tragédie. C'est une tragédie partagée par deux peuples dont les aspirations sont tout autant légitimes. Afin de bien comprendre et éventuellement d'être en mesure de surmonter cette tragédie, une analyse morphologique du sionisme est entreprise. L'approche morphologique de l'étude des idéologies a été développée par Michael Freeden. Appliquée au sionisme, elle fait ressortir quatre concepts fondamentaux de cette idéologie : la nation, l'antisémitisme, galout et la renaissance nationale. L'analyse de ces quatre concepts permettra de suivre l'évolution conceptuelle du sionisme à travers le temps et ses différentes variations idéationnelles. De plus, cela permettra de montrer comment le sionisme en tant qu'idéologie nationale s'est transformé en fonction des contextes sociopolitiques auxquels il était confronté. / Zionism is a political movement, a national ideology. Its history is one of national liberation but also of tragedy, a tragedy faced by two peoples with equally legitimate aspirations to the same piece of territory. In order to help understand that tragedy as well as, one day, how it may perhaps be overcome, a morphological analysis of Zionism is undertaken. The morphological approach to the study of ideologies was first developed by Michael Freeden. Applied to Zionism, it reveals four core concepts of the ideology - nation, antisemitism, galout and national renaissance. Their analysis aims to account for the conceptual evolution of Zionism both diachronically and as regards its numerous ideational variations, thus providing an account of how it evolved through a changing sociopolitical context.

Postliberalism – a New Ideology? : A morphological analysis of postliberalismShpadi, Aleksandr January 2024 (has links)
This study examines the emerging movement that has been described as ‘postliberalism’ which criticises the state of liberalism and seeks a different alternative. Postliberals have shown some prominence in the US and UK, as seen with Marco Rubio, the ‘Blue Labour’ faction in the UK, and even recognition from Viktor Orbán. Many different political ideologies and concepts have been used to describe this movement, such as conservatism, communitarianism and even integralism. This study set out to answer this ambiguity by asking if postliberalism is a sui generis ideology. To answer this, three different books from postliberals have been chosen to be analysed using Michael Freeden’s morphological analysis of ideologies. Freeden argues that ideologies are a constellation of political concepts that provide definitions and answers to political questions, such as ‘what is justice’ or ‘how should we manage resources’. The results show that, like other ideologies, postliberalism also shares some core concepts, namely community and the common good. Yet, even though postliberalism has some conceptual capacity to provide answers, it is logically disunited. Moreover, the core concept of community is extremely similar to communitarianism and other concepts present in conservatism. The author concludes that because of the resemblance of its core concepts to concepts from other ideologies, postliberalism is not unique enough to be an ideology on its own.

Demokrati bortom politiken : En begreppshistorisk analys av demokratibegreppet inom Sveriges socialdemokratiska arbetareparti 1919–1939 / Democracy Beyond Politics : An Analysis of the Concept of Democracy within the Swedish Social Democratic Party 1919–1939Friberg, Anna January 2013 (has links)
This dissertation analyzes the concept of democracy as it was used in the official rhetoric of the Swedish SocialDemocratic Party (SAP ) between 1919 and 1939. Theoretically, the dissertation relies on German Begriffsgeschichte, as put forward by Reinhart Koselleck, and Michael Freeden’s theory of ideologies. Together, by supplementing each other, these theories offer a perspective in which concepts are thought of as structures that are under contestation and change due to socio-political circumstances. However, the formulation of this change takes place in relation to the linguistic praxis of each time-period, and renegotiates the relative constraints of established relations between concepts in language. The analysis shows that the profound changes in society provided impetus for a continuous renegotiation of meanings, allowing concepts to retain their explanatory power under changing circumstances, at the same time the SAP needed new ways to express what kind of society the party strived to realize. The SAP had been one of the leading forces in the struggle for universal suffrage, and when the bill, giving universal suffrage to men andwomen, was passed in the Parliament 1919 this meant a temporary cessation to a long and intensive political debate. However, the SAP did not consider the introduction of suffrage reform as the end of full societal democratization. Rather than seeing the reform as a terminal point, the SAP saw it as the starting point for the struggle for full democracy. The SAP did not limit itself to only one concept of democracy but instead used a number of composite concepts, such as political democracy and economic democracy. The use of composite concepts can be understood as a changing temporalization of democracy. Since parliamentarism and suffrage were seen as central components in democracy, the realization of these institutions meant that the concept of democracy lost its future dimension. Thus, the usage of composite concepts should be seen as a re-temporalization of democracy. The composite concepts pointed forward in time, toward political goals that the SAP envisaged realizing in the future. Concepts should not be thought of as having cores but rather, as suggested by Freeden, ineliminable features. An ineliminable feature is not of logical nature but has a strong cultural adjacency. By analyzing the ineliminable components of the concepts of democracy that the SAP used, it is possible to discuss whether the composite concepts should be understood as subsets of a whole or as separate concepts. The analysis shows that the composite concepts that the SAP used during the first half of the 1920s shared a number of ineliminable features, but that the commonality of these features started to disintegrate during the latter half of the decade, leading to a rather diversive concept of democracy. During the 1930s the disintegration ceased as the party was faced with new circumstances, for example the growing threat of international war and national clashes between different social groups. There has always been a close relation between language and society. However, the relationship does not follow a simple and clear-cut logic but a complex mixture of various factors at different levels, both within language itself and of society. When society develops, language also has to change if the ongoing process is to be understood. As this study shows, new circumstances require new argumentsand thus revised concepts.
