Critique of ideology

The critique of ideology is a concept in critical theory. It entails the submission of received understanding to critical reappropriation for the purpose of human emancipation.[1] An important part of ideology critique has to do with “looking suspiciously at works of art and debunking them as tools of oppression.”[2]
