Abstract

BARBOSA, Marielle Kellermann. Exhaustion: how algorithms are weaving the psychic suffering of hyperconnectivity. J. psicanal. [online]. 2022, vol.55, n.102, pp. 75-87. ISSN 0103-5835.

This article seeks to describe a post-pandemic scenario in which patients and psychoanalysts are together, present in the same fabric of hyperconnectivity. This term designates both the permanent online presence and the logic that constitutes the extraction and sharing of data on the internet, launching the human subject to a new condition regarding the relationship with technology. The psychoanalyst Fabio Herrmann is invited to the dialogue, who, with his postulation about the method, allows us to disagree with Byung-Chul Han when he claims that psychoanalysis does not offer us any access to the suffering typical of post-modernity. Despite disagreeing on this point, the postulations of the Korean philosopher are considered to be close to the understanding of patients in today's office, especially to the conditions of symptoms such as depression, burnout and the new economy of attention.

Keywords : hyperconnectivity; psychoanalysis; fatigue society; burnout; psychic suffering.
