Capitalist discourse: Marx, Lacan and the neoliberal jouissance of capital
Context
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.
Objectives
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.
Method
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.
Results
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.
Interpretation
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.
