Análisis crítico de la redefinición de "ideología" en el pensamiento político contemporáneo

Abstract

This paper analyzes a number of recent theoretical contributions concerning the possible redefinition and conceptual grasp of ideological phenomena in contemporary societies. The study will display some of the problems that arise within this kind of conceptual efforts, focusing especially on the context of poststructural and Lacanian political thought. The work will consider how such redefinitions confront with difficulties or conceptual tensions resultant from the vaster epistemic grounds within which such efforts are located. The highlighting and analyzing of some of these problems is the main focus of this study.
