Contribuições psicanalíticas para uma crítica da fantasia ideológica

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present to readers a new possibility of criticizing ideology from the fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis and its intersection with critical theories of Marxist inspiration. Therefore we use a set of propositions that fundamentally discuss the theses of Freud and Lacan on the concepts of subject, fantasy and desire with the immanent critique common to the thought of Karl Marx and the Frankfurt School. One believes this articulation is emphatically present in the work of the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek. Thus, the reader will perceive that his thought serves, to a great extent, as the guiding thread of the text presented here. Thus, we will try to reconstruct the conceptual framework that leads the critique towards the reconstruction of the forms of life in contemporary capitalism from the notion of ideological fantasy, since we understand that this concept is the key element for the understanding of the new social order.
