Belief has been replaced by speaking ideological codes one must learn

Evidence

For alongside the perspective in which my language comments on that of another, there is a somewhat longer vista in which both languages derive from larger families that used to be called weltanschauungen, or worldviews, but which have today become recognized as “codes.” Where I used to “believe” in a certain vision of the world, political philosophy, philosophical system, or religion as such, today I speak a specific idiolect or ideological code-the badge of group adherence, viewed from a different and more sociological perspective — which presents many of the features of an officially “foreign” language (I have to learn to speak it, for example; I can say some things more strongly in one foreign language than in another, and vice versa; there is no Uror ideal language of which the imperfect earthly ones, in their multiplicity, are so many refractions; syntax is more important than vocabulary, but most people think it is the other way round; my awareness of linguistic dynamics is the result of a new global system or a certain demographic “pluralism”). — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 844

Categorization

• DEFINE: Defines the shift from worldview-as-belief to code-as-idiolect, key to Jameson’s cultural-dominant thesis.
• XREF: Connects to the reader’s reading purpose on periodizing style and how ideology becomes a matter of codes rather than belief. — connects to: The reason-understanding division replaces the older faith-knowledge opposition — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 793; Empiricism replaced religion as the ideology that blocks totalizing social thought. — Fredric Jameson, Marxism and Form, 721
• DEEPTHINKING: The idea that belief has been replaced by code-adherence, liquidating ‘Uror ideal language’ in favor of untranslatable idiolects, is a paradigm-level reframe of how ideology operates after modernity.
