Pranešimo pavadinimas: Psychoanalysis, Ideology, and the Political Production of Subjectivity

Santrauka: This paper examines the relationship between psychoanalysis and ideology by tracing a theoretical trajectory from Sigmund Freud’s metapsychology and theory of the Oedipus complex to the anti-Oedipal critique of desire developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. Rather than treating psychoanalysis as either a purely emancipatory critical method or a conservative apparatus of normalization, the paper argues that psychoanalysis occupies an ambivalent position within ideology critique. On the one hand, it reveals how ideological attachment operates through repression, identification, and internalized authority. On the other hand, it has historically contributed to the privatization and depoliticization of desire. The paper proceeds in five stages. First, it reconstructs Freud’s account of repression, superego formation, and group psychology, showing how ideology becomes psychically durable through internalization and libidinal attachment rather than conscious belief. Second, it turns to Jacques Lacan’s reworking of Freud, emphasizing symbolic mediation, fantasy, and desire as desire of the Other in order to explain why ideology persists even when its claims are rationally discredited. Third, it examines Herbert Marcuse’s critique of advanced industrial society, in which domination operates through integration, false needs, and managed satisfaction rather than overt repression. Fourth, it analyzes Anti-Oedipus as a decisive rupture with Oedipal psychoanalysis, reconceptualizing desire as productive and ideology as a machinery of capture that redirects desiring-production into depoliticized forms. Finally, it turns to Judith Butler’s theory of subjection to address a central limitation of anti-Oedipal theory, namely the question of why capture is psychically binding. The paper concludes that ideology is best understood as a political organization of psychic life. It operates not primarily through deception or coercion, but through the production of subjects, the structuring of desire, and the internalization of norms that make political intelligibility possible.
