Since Tracy had created the theory of ideology, it has been the focus of theorists.Evolution so far, the concepts of ideology has become extraordinarily complex. i ekthinks that the theory of ideology regardless of the rationalism of the French, which touse the methodology of natural science to understand the world, or Hegel, Marx’sepistemology, which to emphasize the creation the truth rather than empiricalobservation has been outdated today. If we face to today’s cynical ideology, we haveto abandon the theory of traditional ideology of ‘the knowledge’ level, meanwhileturn to ‘the activity’ level to understand, So the critique of ideology has way-out.In today’s life, the subject is facing unprecedented difficulties. Foucault,Habermas and Althusser have explored the way of subject from their own field ofvision in contemporary academic perspective, however, they have not solved theproblem of subject, in contrast, and they have digested the subject and subjectivity. i ek think that only Lacan’s unconscious subject will save the subject and thesubjectivity. Because the Sublime object will continue to fill the shortage of signifier,the subject will return to ego, and the subject’s subjectivity will become more andricher in the construction.i ek has explored the theory of ideology from the dimension of subjectivity. Hewants to reconstruct the rational subject since Descartes by Lacan’s unconscioussubject. Around this issue, we firstly explore the mode of subjectivity from theshadow puppet protagonist of the contemporary academic, That is to say, we explainthe subjectivity from Foucault’s the pure individual subject, Habermas’communicative subject, Althusser’s pseudo-subject and Lacan’s fantasy subjects. Wespeculate from these, i ek’s subject of the theory of ideology is Lacan’s unconscioussubject. So, the subject has been split or castrated, and become the signifier subject,finally, the subject has been dominated by the sublime object. Then the subject has tobe filled their vacancies by the sublime object, at the same time, the subject in orderto attain ego has to transfer the attention by the identification and transference. Thus,the subject only to traverse the fantasy of the sublime object, it will regain self.However, the subject doesn’t always split or castrate entirely, it has surplus. Therefore,the surplus enjoyment is the subject’s endless nostalgia after castrating, and then it became the impossibility of ideology of the subject to expose. Under the cynicalideology controlling, this surplus enjoyment finally become the nothing worship andthe no-subject fascination.i ek’s subjectivity ideology mode, in fact, want to explain Marx’s theory ofideology by Lacan’s psychoanalysis, to construct Marx’s fetishism by Lacan’sunconscious subject theory, this combination highlights the characteristics of thetheory of ideology of intersubjectivity, ghost, and the impossibility. However, thissuture is not perfect. In theory, i ek’s theory of ideology has fallen into thepoststructuralist stereotype; in practice, it has slid into the morass of post-Marxism,after traversing the ideological fantasy, the subject can not find a way-out. Under thevision of historical materialism, to critically analysis i ek’s theory of ideology, toprovides a certain reference to Chinese socialist ideology construction, and toenhance the cohesion and appeal of socialist ideology.
