What is Saul Perlmutter's theory of ideology as social cement?
My work on 'Ideology as Social Cement' explores how prevailing ideologies, particularly those that frame economic and social arrangements as natural or inevitable, function to bind societies together, even when such arrangements are unequal. These narratives create a shared understanding, legitimizing existing power structures and discouraging alternative visions. Deconstructing these narratives reveals their constructed nature and the mechanisms by which they maintain social order.
