Abstract
Taking our bearings from Stuart Hall’s essay from 1982, ‘The rediscovery of “ideology”:
return of the repressed in media studies’, we argue in this discussion piece for the need
to pick up the tools of ideology critique once again. Quite simply, the contemporary
moment where accelerating inequality is masked by blame of the poor and of migrants
demands it. The case is made first through a critique of ideological responses to the
economic crisis after 2008. Then in the final section we examine advocacy of ‘social
mobility’ in the public sphere, an ideological project if ever there was one.
