TEIXEIRA, Antônio M. R.. Psychoanalysis and ideology: the violence of representation. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.3, pp. 159-171. ISSN 1677-1168.

The article deals with the problem examined by German essayist Walter Benjamin, in “Towards a Critique of violence”, reported to the violent submission of language in its instrumental representative use, as well as the impasses of the critique of ideology, from the perspective of historical materialism and psychoanalysis. These impasses are referred to the impossibility of dealing with the violence of representation out of a representative discourse, besides the absence of an external observatory or an extra-ideological place from which a critique of ideology could be performed. In this approach, we tried to clarify the ways psychoanalysis offers to think violence ideological representation through a conceptual approach of the sovereign exception.

Keywords : psicoanálisis; violence; representation; ideology; exception.
