Resumo: This paper deals with a symptom: that of an ideological change, a historical break in the fantasmatic production of social organization – the transition from East to West. Following Žižek’s recommendation to ‘enjoy your symptom’, I explore my own historical experience of the Eastern European ‘Wende’ from ‘realexisting socialism’ to ‘real-existing capitalism’. This exploration is done through a variety of different images, the most recognizable being perhaps the well-known film Good Bye Lenin, which deals with the complexities of the transitions of not only political and economic regimes but their implications for the make up of subjectivities. The paper ends with an affi rmative outlook, as it claims that history has not ended, and that breaks in the ideological and fantasmatic production of society are still possible today.

Ao seguir a recomendação de Žižek para “usufruir do sintoma”, exploro minha própria experiência histórica do “Wende” europeu Oriental de “socialismo real existente” para “capitalismo real existente”. Esta exploração é feita através de uma variedade de imagens diferentes, sendo, talvez, o famoso filme Adeus, Lênin! a mais reconhecida, que lida não apenas com as complexidades das transições de regimes políticos e econômicos, mas também das suas implicações na construção de subjetividades. O artigo é concluído com perspectiva afirmativa, enquanto reinvindica que a história não terminou e que fraturas na fantasmática e ideológica produção da sociedade são possíveis ainda hoje.FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial2007-12-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/498Estudos de Sociologia; v. 12 n. 23 (2007)1982-47181414-0144reponame:Estudos de Sociologiainstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/498/379Copyright (c) 2007 Estudos de Sociologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBöhm, Steffen2021-05-12T13:46:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/498Revistahttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudosPUBhttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/oaistraud.fclar@unesp.br||estudosdesociologia@fclar.unesp.br||maria.jardim@unesp.br1982-47181414-0144opendoar:2021-05-12T13:46:16Estudos de Sociologia - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
