Document Summary
Face 1 face 2 face 3. We live during a period of a battle of ideas - competing ways in which we should live. And of the way power relations should be organized. Today we want to think about several common systems of ideas, their strengths, weaknesses, and implications for how we understand ourselves and our world around us. Left off thinking about power and politics. Many ways power over the workers is manifested and perpetuated by key political actors. But we overlook crucial ways power is understood by not thinking about the ways industry executives, politicians, and citizens talk about who should do the work, how the work should be done, effect of the work. Thinking about politics leads to thinking about the ideas animating seasonal agricultural work. And about the ways political socialization, political agency, and public opinion are influenced. We see the presence of ideology in many places!
