The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the complex relations between ideology and various types of narration. In the text, I employ the notion of ‘ideological-ness’, assuming that ideology is not only conveyed within the framework of narration but rather it constitutes the foundations of its construction. Narration does not reflect reality in a neutral manner but from a certain point of view it always constructs it. On the other hand, it is in narration that ideology is manifested, and in this way we can learn about the mechanisms behind the ideological structuring of social reality. In the article, I present two methodological propositions for studying ideology in narrative forms. Firstly, the concept of conventionalised ‘ideological-ness’ points to the processes stabilising ideological meanings in narration. Secondly, with the concept of configurational ‘ideological-ness’ we can capture the internal contradictions within a work, and thus its proneness to various ideological interpretations.
