In the context of a predominance of evaluative and surveillance practices which fall upon various domains of contemporary life, this article aims to elucidate the erasing of exception paths and effects on contemporaneity from a psychoanalytic standpoint. From the ancient master’s discourse to the modern master’s discourse, academic and capitalist, the knowledge obtained by utility and value measures starts to direct political and individual decisions, previously guided by tradition. In the face of this reality, the bureaucratic administration gear towards the subjects, striving for homogenizing and subordinating them to the modern ideal of transparency, guaranteed by the knowledge extracted and decoded by the evaluation apparatus. Psychoanalysis garners the effects from this contemporary social bond, but, in a distinct way from that of the dominant discourse, offers another destiny to the intimate, to the jouissance that can be neither accounted for, nor homogenized.
