What might be termed our ethical critique of social practices thus focuses on the closure of subjective identification, which for us is just another name for the ideological. Ideology it will be recalled is related to those practices and forms of identity which conceal or deny the inherent radical contingency of practices … ideology’s very function is to fantasmatically conceal such relations and structures of domination by keeping radical contingency at bay. From this point of view, ethical critique demands detailed analyses of the kinds of fantasies underpinning social and political practices, as well as the exploration of ways such fantasies can be destabilized or modulated.
