Resumen
According to the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, ideology is not only
something imposed on us. Rather, ideology is our spontaneous relation to the world, and
operates in a way which is homologous to Lacan’s concept of fantasy. For Lacan, one of
the main sources of inspiration for Žižek’s philosophy, masks the flaws of symbolic
reality: fantasy is a form of social bond which determine value and meaning to our
concrete reality. Fantasy is oftentimes an unconscious illusion which makes us disregard
our direct relation with socially shared reality. Žižek claims the existence of an
ideological fantasy, since the ideology masks reality just like fantasy does. Starting from
this analysis, Žižek perceives that we need to remain within fiction and illusion to deal
with ideology. This fiction, of course, should not be an imaginary illusion. Rather it
should be a symbolic illusion which includes reality within itself. Thus, one could ask: if
there is no way out of ideology (because ideology is our way to relate to the world), if
there is no strategy for disalienation, how can we identify and distinguish a “truthful
illusion”, a “real fantasy”, from an imaginary illusion which would be imposed on us?
