Abstract

NGUYEN, Albert  and  POLLO, Tradução de Vera. The irruption of politics: the response of psychoanalysis and the social bond. Trivium [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.2, pp. 208-2015. ISSN 2176-4891.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18379/2176-4891.2016v2p.208.

Starting from the observation that Lacan's discourse about the place of psychoanalysis in politics could not be the same after the 2008 financial crisis that hit Europe and Latin America, the author proposes to respond, making use of Lacan's last seminars, to what actually happened in the transformation of the master's discourse, MD, into a discourse of capitalism, also called the "perverted master's discourse". After confirming the frequency of "special" cases - that is, difficult to diagnose - in the contemporary psychoanalytic clinic, and the encroachment of the issue of identity into that clinic, the initial issue unfolds as: How to treat the symptom that comes from the real? How to make a social link given the failure of desire and the proliferation of pleasures? The answer may be found in consenting to uniqueness, which only psychoanalytic practice can allow. For this reason, psychoanalysis is not outdated or empty, on the contrary, it grows on a daily basis.

Keywords : MASTER'S DISCOURSE; DISCOURSE OF CAPITALISM; SYMPTOM; ENJOYMENT; UNIQUENESS.
