The present work arises from the hypothesis that, based on the cultural changes introduced by the processes of digitalization of information, it became possible to observe, in contemporary society, a mutation in the status of knowledge, which had effects on subjectivity itself. Starting from the mathematical discourse of the capitalist proposed by Jacques Lacan, we highlight the elements that characterize the new discursive pattern underway in digital culture due to its dynamics animated by the logic of numbers, to be named as digital discourse. We will seek to point out to what extent the change in the status of knowledge allows us to infer this new discursive dynamic. Thus, an outline will be made of what digital culture is, indicated as an effect of the new format assumed by capitalism. Next, the perspectives assumed by the notion of knowledge within the scope of capitalist discourse will be outlined. Finally, the mutations suffered by contemporary society will be considered with the entrance into the scene of digitized information and, more specifically, the digital algorithm to propose the emergence of digital discourse as the most recent version of capitalist discourse. Based on such premises, it is worth asking whether we are still facing the capitalist discourse or, in fact, a new discourse in which the elements of the social bond receive an unprecedented rearrangement, that is, a sixth discourse, namely, digital discourse.
