El espectro de la ideología

Under the mere reflection about how the horizon of historical imagination is subject to change, we are in medias res, forced to accept the relentless relevance of the notion of ideology. Until a decade or two, the nature-production system (production-operator relationship between man and nature and its resources) was perceived as a constant, while everyone was busy imagining different forms of social organization of production and trade (fascism and communism as alternatives to liberal capitalism). Today, as Fredric Jameson has astutely observed, and no one seriously considers alternatives to capitalism, while the popular imagination is haunted by visions of the imminent "collapse of nature", the cessation of all life on Earth: it seems more easy to imagine the "end of the World" a much more modest in production mode, as if liberal capitalism was the "real" that somehow survive, even in a global ecological catastrophe ... so we can say categorically the existence of ideology as generative matrix that regulates the relationship between the visible and invisible, between the imaginable and unimaginable, and changes in this relationship.
