Religion as ideology and critique: Per Götrek’s Christian communism
Abstract
In this article I present a reading of the relationship between
discourse and ideology. With two curricula for the Swedish
upper secondary school as my empirical basis, I suggest that
the rather conspicuous differences between the curriculum of
1970 and that of 2011 ought to be considered as manifestations
of discursive but not ideological changes. In the concluding
remarks, I argue that the way in which the term discourse has
come to be used has contributed to this. As a way forward, I
contend that the Rawlsian framework, given the social-liberal
values which it is supposed to reflect, provide us with political
tools to map the most pertinent flaws in the curriculum of 2011.
