NEOLIBERALISM AND SOCIAL LINK: A PSYCHOANALYTIC STUDY ON THE PHENOMENON OF VIOLENCE IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY
Psychoanalysis; Neoliberalism; Capitalist discourse; Violence.
Violence, a characteristic phenomenon of culture, assumes new ways of presenting
itself under the neoliberal discursive model. These forms appear, in Brazil, under two
main axes. First, a silent violence that, through the instrumentalization of the
superego, captures individuals in the market logic of the entrepreneur of himself.
Second, a violence that appears as an effect of this, referring to objective violence,
which authorizes individuals to commit the passage to the act, against themselves
and against others. For this articulation, we use what Canguilhem (year) calls
concept work, starting from the political field to understand its effects in the
subjective field, aiming at the articulation between the subject and the sociopolitical
field through the bias of psychoanalysis. We see a third axis as a horizon of
possibility. This, still to be addressed in this research, would also be related to the
violence of the act as an instituting act, that is, an act that summons the subject to
rupture, the construction of a new possibility different from those placed a priori by
the capitalist social bond.
