We can follow these four choices down a total of 16 "decision tree" pathways to reach the particular form of morphological analysis we decide to use.

Or, if you like, we choose between 16 morphological "roles" we can play when we carry out our analyses.

Happy theorising! ✨

Next, we look directly at the denotative meanings or the connotations of ideological and conceptual labels, and we examine how these are determined by their internal logic or their surrounding context.

My argument is quite straightforward.

Whenever we do ideological analysis, we choose between looking at ideologies or at the concepts they are made up of, and we analyse them in either a holistic or disaggregated way.

So pleased and proud that my Editorial on "The apotheosis of conceptual morphology" is now officially out along with the first issue of @jpolideologies.bsky.social of 2025!

Couldn't resist making space for a bit of the Upanishads in the epigraph...

You'll notice we've expanded the number of articles we publish in each issue.

We're very lucky to get a growing volume of top-notch analysis coming our way year after year.

So we're listening to our authors, and taking steps to create a faster pipeline from "online first" to issue allocation.

Delighted to see the latest volume of @jpolideologies.bsky.social out!

We've got articles on topics from nationalism to cosmopolitanism, post-Marxism to political theology.

And true to our mission to cover #ideology in all its global forms, we have case-studies from Canada to Sweden to Tunisia.

Talking of @jpolideologies.bsky.social , here's a paper I had there way back

Essentially, can you empirically survey ideology *without* using a right-left spectrum (either 1 or 2 dimensional)?

Very pleased to share that my latest Editorial for @jpolideologies.bsky.social is now available online!

"The apotheosis of conceptual morphology", in which I explore no fewer than sixteen different ways we can analyse ideas and ideologies through a morphological lens.

Have a read! #ideology

In Salomé Ietter's article in @jpolideologies.bsky.social, she argues that the "Gilets jaunes represented a space of ingenuity and creativity [...] fostering the reconstitution of the antagonisms suppressed by the neoliberal discourse"
