Marxism/Ideological Criticism

This is actually the most informative website I found on the subject. It presents a Marxist view on the topic as well as informs the public on how ideology is used in criticism. It is easy to read because the whole site is presented in a slide form. I think this might have been a project. Either way, it's a good project with simple information.

"The primary goal of the ideological critic is to discover and make clear the dominant ideology or ideologies embedded in an artifact and the ideologies that are being muted in it. "
Okay.... I guess that isn't the best explanation. Here's another one:

¨systems of belief or thoughts
¨the study of the science of ideas "

Hope this helps!!
