This work proposes to think about a dialogue between psychoanalysis and the street based on the concept
Lacanian of capitalist discourse. For this purpose, we carried out a theoretical research on the
Lacanian theory of discourses, culminating in the development of the concept in question. In
then, we undertake a discussion about the Population in Street Situation, thought
as a symptom of the capitalist discourse, also presenting considerations about the
how this population is socially denominated. We also discussed the policies
Brazilian public institutions in recent years, as well as about the public space and its
crossings before the capitalist social bond. Finally, we held a discussion on the
what we call street clinics here, proposing to think about the insertion of psychoanalysis in this
field. For this, we present a historical journey about psychoanalytic street clinics,
we held a discussion on the concept of subject, key to thinking about praxis
psychoanalysis, and we brought an argument about some of the classic devices of
psychoanalysis, like money and the couch, to think about its performance outside the traditional setting. A
Based on this discussion, we defend the idea that, focusing on the field of speech, the clinic
psychoanalytical analysis can discursively support the manipulations, provided that their
strategy and its politics, and insert itself in the public space as a movement that resists the
its co-option by exchange value.
