{"title":"Capitalist discourse: Marx, Lacan and the neoliberal jouissance of capital","authors":"David Pavón-Cuéllar","doi":"10.1016/j.inan.2024.100474","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.inan.2024.100474","url":null,"abstract":"<div><h3>Context</h3><div>The article centers on the formalization of capitalist discourse by Jacques Lacan between 1972 and 1975. Lacan's work on the capitalist discourse follows his theory of the four discourses and serves as a critique of neoliberal capitalism, marking a transition from regulated welfare capitalism to unregulated neoliberalism. It addresses how capitalism, with its inherent structures, influences social bonds, subjectivity, and economic systems.</div></div><div><h3>Objectives</h3><div>The primary aim is to demonstrate that Lacan's capitalist discourse formalizes neoliberal capitalism by highlighting three key aspects: its inherent cynicism, its link with individualism, and its allowance for the unrestricted enjoyment (jouissance) of capital. The study also aims to bridge Lacanian psychoanalysis and Marxist economic theory to uncover blind spots in Lacan's conceptualization.</div></div><div><h3>Method</h3><div>A theoretical analysis of Lacan's capitalist discourse is employed, along with a critical examination of works from psychoanalytic thinkers such as Charles Melman, Todd McGowan, Jorge Alemán, and Marxist insights. This interdisciplinary approach allows for a deeper exploration of the nuances of Lacan's discourse.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The results reveal that Lacan's capitalist discourse is an early theoretical exploration of neoliberalism, depicting it as a system characterized by the metonymic movement of capital, which isolates individuals while capital itself enjoys freedom. The discourse explains how capital uses and exploits individuals, bypassing traditional ethical limits and creating a system that appears to serve subjects but ultimately serves only capital.</div></div><div><h3>Interpretation</h3><div>The capitalist discourse, as elaborated by Lacan, captures the essence of neoliberal capitalism by illustrating how it operates cynically and removes restrictions to the jouissance of capital. Lacan's theory illuminates the oppressive and alienating nature of capitalism, which subjugates individuals and makes them objects in its relentless cycle of accumulation. Through Lacan's framework, the article also interprets the transition from state-regulated capitalism to neoliberalism as a structural evolution driven by technological and financial developments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100661,"journal":{"name":"In Analysis","volume":"8 3","pages":"Article 100474"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142663102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By rejecting developmental teleology and normative success, these theories allow for an expansion of psychoanalytic praxis, opening it up to more fluid forms of existence and subjectivity, less bound by heteronormative and capitalist expectations. They also facilitate the inclusion of subjects traditionally marginalized, such as sexual and gender minorities, within a more inclusive vision of psychic care.</div></div><div><h3>Interpretation</h3><div>The article argues that psychoanalysis, if it remains anchored in a rigid reading of the Oedipus complex, risks becoming entrenched in a conservative framework that limits its clinical scope. However, an openness to radical critiques, particularly those emerging from queer theory and social critiques of family and gender, can revitalize psychoanalytic practice and enable it to address contemporary issues. Failure, rather than being seen as a shortcoming of the subject or therapy, can be embraced as a critical stance that challenges social norms and opens up possibilities for subjective and collective reinvention.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100661,"journal":{"name":"In Analysis","volume":"8 3","pages":"Article 100477"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142663101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the perceived well-being of modern capitalist societies, a profound psychosomatic discontent manifests, reflected in the rise of stress-induced illnesses, autoimmune diseases, and psychiatric disorders. The article uses the metaphor of autoimmunity to describe Western societal dysfunction, drawing parallels between biological self-destruction and societal self-harm driven by hyper-individualism, economic pressures, and digital dependencies.</div></div><div><h3>Objectives</h3><div>This study aims to analyze the mechanisms through which Western societies contribute to self-destructive processes, paralleling the way autoimmune diseases function within the body. It seeks to demonstrate how excessive control, consumerism, and the digital environment exacerbate stress, which in turn contributes to both physical and psychological deterioration. The philosophical question underpinning this analysis is whether the societal and economic systems in the West are undermining the self-defense mechanisms of their members, akin to an autoimmune response.</div></div><div><h3>Method</h3><div>The article adopts a qualitative and theoretical approach, integrating concepts from psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, and epidemiology. The author incorporates clinical observations, epidemiological data, and philosophical reflections to explore the effects of chronic stress on mental and physical health.

Epidemiological data support the link between chronic stress, psychiatric disorders, and autoimmune conditions.

This stress, in turn, disrupts immune function, leading to a cycle of physical and psychological degeneration.</div></div><div><h3>Interpretation</h3><div>Western societies, through their relentless pursuit of control, comfort, and consumption, create environments of heightened stress that mirror the dysfunctions of autoimmune diseases, where the body turns against itself. The research suggests that modern capitalist structures are pathogenic, exacerbating stress, weakening immune resilience, and fostering mental health crises.

Darves-Bornoz","doi":"10.1016/j.inan.2024.100468","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.inan.2024.100468","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Context&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Resilience is implicitly thought to be a capacity that some have without having done much to obtain it, so that the notion of resistance to existential wounds, such as trauma among others, remains necessary. Resistance does not always cause healing and fulfillment, especially in child trauma, but it is legitimate to embark on it. All therapies consist in resuming a development, whatever the blockage that stopped it: existential or organic, current or archaic, due to a personality or temperament. They attempt thus an &lt;em&gt;intergenerational neo-transmission&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Objective&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;This article defends five theoretical theses that are equally useful in practice and technique. They underline the strength of existential psychoanalysis, as each individual appears dissimilar in the face of a potential narcissistic wound, including trauma.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Method&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Five paragraphs in the article first summarize a thesis in their title, and then explain its roots and extent.

In trauma, we parallel theory and technique with practice to approach knowledge. Helping survivors often excludes their confrontation to an experimental repetition, with or without some mathematical methodology.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;(1) Perceptions are not neutral. Any event, narcissistic wound or trauma is perceived by the subjects through their own vision of the world, which can then fracture. Subjects should reconstruct their perception of the world, but they do not always do that. (2) Resistance spontaneously evokes military fight or, in a psychoanalytical framework, a psychological obstruction by patients. The meaning of resistance in our case is different. Resisting a traumatic destruction is an emotional and intellectual effort to move beyond stupefying awareness. (3) Existence fragments the psyche, but not necessarily up to pathology. Trauma often dissociates fragments, whereas other experiences rarely so isolate. (4) The intergenerational transmission of internal images, from psyche to psyche, influences exposure to adverse events. It also exists, once the event occurred, an intergenerational transmission of vulnerability or resistance to trauma: it refers less to the fragmentation of psyche than to the transmission – or not – of associative praxis enabling a conversation between the individualized sectors of psyche. (5) All psychoanalyses move thoughts from fragments of the psyche to others. Associating these fragments frees thought and prevents mistakes. Associative effort on internal images makes identity truer. It frees from repetitions and alienating identifications. Otherwise, an alienated or poorly associative self would remain unaware of the close link of some dissociated fragments.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Conclusion&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ideas presented here emerged insistently throughout de","PeriodicalId":100661,"journal":{"name":"In Analysis","volume":"8 3","pages":"Article 100468"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142586481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the abundance of advertising linked to the multiplication of digital media (Internet, video games, etc.), it is important to better understand the effects and non-conscious processes involved, as well as some of the deleterious consequences for individuals and society.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Objectives&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Firstly, to show how advertising and commercial communication influence people without their being aware of it. What kinds of non-conscious processes are involved? Secondly, the aim is to show that these non-conscious influences pose a number of humanistic and societal problems, (a) on public health, notably the obesity epidemic with ads for “junk food”, (b) on social representations of happiness, (c) on individual freedom.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Method&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The demonstration is based, firstly, on a literature review of scientific research, essentially using experimentation in order to guarantee a high level of scientific evidence, in the following disciplines: cognitive psychology, positive psychology, social psychology, marketing research, communication sciences and public health. Secondly, the demonstration is based on a critical study in the light of the philosophies of action and freedom.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Scientific research has highlighted four main types of non-conscious processes and effects, the validity of which, assured in particular by the experimental method, is now well established: the effects of non-conscious brand perception; the influences of low-attention exposures: simple brand exposure and simple forgotten exposure; the non-conscious effects of attitude conditioning; the non-conscious effects of the emotional contexts in which brands are inserted. Commercial communication actions have deleterious non-conscious effects (1) for public health, with advertisements for foods of poor nutritional quality targeted at children, (2) for social representations of “happiness” by giving it the face of materialism. Philosophically, these influences limit individual freedom by “automatically” directing consumers’ beliefs and desires.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Interpretations&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The non-conscious influences of advertising, well established, raise ethical and societal questions. They can have deleterious effects on public health, notably by encouraging the obesity epidemic. They also contribute to misleading representations of happiness, associating it with materialism, which in turn can diminish long-term well-being. On a moral level, commercial communication aimed at non-conscious influences, considered as manipulation, is an attack on people's individual freedom of action.
