Una reflexión sobre las relaciones del inconsciente con la política a la luz del psicoanálisis es simple si se parte de la afirmación de Lacan: “El inconsciente es la política”, Es decir que no se trata de dos registros, sino de uno, en reverso moebiano: la política se estructura por las lógicas del inconsciente, el cual no es sin política. La organización social contemporánea exige un tratamiento de la política más allá de las “estructuras de poder” y de la figura del amo para repensar las lógicas que definen al ciudadano y sus lazos como figura central de nuestra historia política.

El neoliberalismo y el neofascismo constituyen dos expresiones indisociables entre sí de una misma configuración actual del sistema capitalista. Esto es lo que el autor intenta demostrar con el auxilio de recursos conceptuales provenientes principalmente de las teorías marxista y freudiana-lacaniana. La demostración pasa por tres momentos: 1) la elucidación de las modalidades neoliberales de exacerbación, psicologización y universalización del funcionamiento capitalista; 2) la interpretación del neofascismo como una estrategia estética, segregativa y unificadora al servicio del neoliberalismo; 3) el análisis de formas neoliberales y neofascistas de concebir y relacionar la segregación y la discriminación, la exclusión y la explotación, la diferencia y la desigualdad, el desarrollo y el subdesarrollo, la propiedad y la privación.

En este artículo pretendemos reflexionar sobre fenómenos políticos actuales de rasgos autoritarios a partir tanto de algunos desarrollos teóricos que articulan psicoanálisis y lenguajes de la teoría política contemporánea, como de la noción “masa del pánico”. Nuestra conjetura principal es que el actual debilitamiento generalizado de los significantes amo o nombres del padre, que entenderemos aquí a partir del trastocamiento enunciado por Lacan con el matema del discurso del capitalista, nos ubica ante un nuevo escenario donde el sujeto dividido no tiende a inscribirse en el lazo social, sino que, expuesto sin reservas al imperativo superyoico a gozar, se conecta, constituyendo masas del pánico.

A reflection on the relationships of the unconscious to politics in the light of psychoanalysis is simple if we start out from Lacan’s statement: “The unconscious is politics”. That is, it is not a question of two registers, but of one, in a sort of Möbius inversion: politics is structured by the logics of the unconscious, which does not exist without politics. The social contemporary organization demands that we address politics beyond “structures of power” and the figure of the master, in order to rethink the logics that define citizens and their bonds, as the central figure of our political history.

This paper will delve into current authoritarian political phenomena based on theoretical approaches that articulate psychoanalysis and contemporary political theory languages, and on the idea of “panic mass”. Our main assumption is that the current general weakening of signifiers related to master -or Names-of-the-Father-, approached from the disruption outlined by Lacan through the mathema of Capitalist Discourse, places us on a new scenario where the split subject does not tend to inscribe himself into social bonds, but, exposed without caution to the superego imperative to enjoy, connects and forms panic masses.

Neoliberalism and neo-fascism are two inseparable expressions of the same current configuration of the capitalist system. The above mentioned is what the author tries to demonstrate in the subjective sphere with the help of conceptual resources mainly from the Marxist and Freudian-Lacanian theories. The demonstration withstands three moments: 1) the elucidation of the neoliberal modalities of exacerbation, psychologization and universalization of capitalist functioning; 2) the interpretation of neo-fascism as an aesthetic, segregationist, and unifying strategy at the service of neoliberalism; 3) the analysis of neoliberal and neo-fascist forms of conceiving and relating segregation and discrimination, exclusion and exploitation, difference and inequality, development and underdevelopment, property and deprivation.

El odio es un afecto más lúcido que el amor pues, aunque ambos se ubican en la falta de ser, el amor intenta velarla mientras que el odio la re-vela redoblando la apuesta y reconociendo aquello que la suple: el Uno. Y el Uno que soporta el odio es inherente al lazo social. ¿Entonces cómo responderán los psicoanalistas a la segregación, producto del cruce entre el capitalismo y la ciencia? La subjetividad de la época nos empuja a tomar el relevo de Lacan.

Hate is a more lucid affect than love because although both are located in the lack of being, love tries to veil that lack, while hate un-veils it, thus raising the stakes and recognizing that which supplements it: the One. And the One who endures hate is inherent to the social fabric. How, then, will psychoanalysts respond to segregation, which is the result of the combination of capitalism and science? The subjectivity of our times drives us to assume the relay of Lacan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A partir de tres referentes discursivos relacionados entre sí a propósito del atentado que sufrió el diario satírico Charlie Hebdo, el presente artículo indaga sobre las dinámicas sociales que pueden estar jugando en la realización de actos semejantes. Igualmente analiza posiciones y mecanismos de aproximación o de segregación en nuestras sociedades. A partir de ello, visibiliza cómo, contrariamente a sus premisas de “Igualdad, Libertad y Fraternidad”, el discurso de Occidente tiene dificultades para relacionarse con la alteridad que descubren las creencias propias de una cultura diferente.

Este artículo, que hace parte de un trabajo de investigación sobre violencia y lazo social, desarrolla ideas en torno a la relación con el espíritu religioso —presente de manera especialmente importante en la vida cotidiana actual— y con lo real tal como ha sido provocado por el predominio del discurso capitalista en su articulación necesaria con el discurso de la ciencia. Igualmente examina la relación entre religión y segregación. El psicoanálisis no es ajeno a las condiciones de la época que intervienen e interrogan la subjetividad y el lazo social.

The article, which is part of a research project on violence and social bond, develops ideas regarding the relation between the religious spirit --whose presence is especially important in current everyday life-- and the real as it has emerged due to the predominance of capitalist discourse in its necessary articulation with scientific discourse. Likewise, it examines the relationship between religion and segregation. Psychoanalysis cannot be oblivious to those conditions of a period that intervene in and interrogate subjectivity and social bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

On the basis of three discursive referents interrelated with respect to the attack on the satirical journal Charlie Hebdo, the article inquires into the social dynamics that may come into play when such acts are perpetrated, and analyzes positions and mechanisms of rapprochement or segregation in our societies. From that perspective, it makes evident how, contrary to the premises of "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity", Western discourse has trouble relating to the alterity revealed by the beliefs of a different culture.

Este artículo indaga la relación que puede establecerse entre la segregación como una modalidad del lazo social en la época contemporánea, y el predominio del discurso capitalista en su articulación necesaria con el discurso de la ciencia. Igualmente examina el fenómeno de la emergencia de los llamados “síntomas contemporáneos”, cuyo correlato es una suerte de sujeto completado por su plus-de-goce, es decir, el individuo solicitado por el funcionamiento del discurso capitalista. El ‘diagnóstico’ de la época permite situar la lógica que atraviesa la oferta contemporánea de síntomas, que nada tienen que ver con el síntoma en la función que el psicoanálisis le reconoce: como objeción al discurso.

El artículo tiene su base en el trabajo etnográfico en torno a la migración que se desarrolló en la colonia Lechería del Estado de México. Busca comprender los problemas de discriminación, exclusión y violencia que surgen en las relaciones entre los habitantes de la colonia y los migrantes, en su camino hacia EE. UU. Desde el psicoanálisis se analizan las nociones de discriminación y violencia en relación con el lenguaje y se examinan los discursos de la ciencia y del capitalismo, como catalizadores de los fenómenos asociados con la segregación en las masas. Este documento propone un diálogo sobre los puntos en común entre el psicoanalista y el investigador social.

Lacan anuncia la segregación moderna como un horizonte ineluctable, ligado a la emergencia del sujeto de la ciencia. Esta sombría perspectiva se profiere, sin embargo, con el cuidado de situar una posición del discurso analítico que, frente a ello, haga objeción. La escritura de los cuatro discursos permite desplegar esta lógica y cruzarla con ciertos trabajos de Foucault.

En sus desarrollos sobre lo imaginario, Lacan partió de la interpretación freudiana de la relación edípica entre hermanos, aunque tomó “distancia” con respecto de la idea que Freud tenía de los celos; posteriormente, en el contexto del seminario 17, al reinterpretar el mito freudiano de la horda primitiva, planteó una nueva concepción de la fraternidad. Puede afirmarse que Lacan avanzó “más allá del Edipo” en cuanto a la relación entre hermanos. Para complementar el desarrollo lacaniano recurrimos a la función del testigo como una forma de aprehender ese punto en que el hermano no es solo un semejante, sino una figura del prójimo.

This article develops the thesis that, both the works of Freud and Lacan, make it possible to approach to the concepts of segregation, exclusion and conflict, by posing a way beyond cultural ideals and, in that sense, a difference between the social link, based on love and the spirit of solidarity, and the phenomena that encourage segregation. Psychoanalysis can show that the foundation of any segregation is fraternity, which brings to the fore current issues of contemporary cultural logics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Feminization, as a concept that is recognized in the field of social sciences, refers to a series of phenomena often associated with marginalization and poverty, made visible through the questioning of the patriarchal and/or andocentric order. Based on a careful review of the notion of feminization in psychoanalysis, we propose a structural reading of this matter. The articulation of feminization, understood as object a in subjectivity, and the social link leads to the consideration of discourse in contemporary times and the detection of the 'version' of feminization brought about by science, promoter of segregation, fundamentalisms and authoritarianisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is based on ethnographic work about migration, which took place in the colony of Lechería in Mexico State. It seeks to understand the problems of discrimination, exclusion and violence that arise in the relations between the inhabitants of the colony and migrants on their way to U.S.A. Based on the tenets of psychoanalysis, the text discusses the notions of discrimination and violence in relation to language, as well as the discourses of science and capitalism as catalysts for the phenomena associated with mass segregation. This paper proposes a dialogue on the commonalities between the psychoanalyst and the social researcher. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Taking as a starting point the Lacanian observations on segregation contained in the author's "Allocution sur les psychoses de l'enfant", this article intends to elucidate: a) how Lacan introduces this issue; b) if segregation is a response to the problems of globalization; c) if psychoanalysis suggests an antinomian response; d) how the real that is summoned by segregation is explained, as the experience of the cure reveals it; e) why psychoanalysis has let itself be involved in segregating organizations; and f) the reason why psychoanalysis should, at all, care, literally, for segregation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the relationship that can be established between segregation as a form of social link in contemporary times, and the predominance of capitalist discourse in its necessary articulation with the discourse of science. It also examines the phenomenon of the emergence of the so-called "contemporary symptoms", whose correlate is a kind of subject completed by his surplus-jouissance, i.e., the individual required by the way capitalist discourse works. The 'diagnosis' of the epoch allows us to situate the logic that involves the contemporary offer of symptoms, which has nothing to do with the function of the symptom acknowledged by psychoanalysis: as an objection to the discourse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lacan announces modern segregation as an ineluctable horizon linked to the emergence of the subject of science. This gloomy perspective is uttered, however, by carefully placing a position of analytical discourse against which it can make objection. The writing of the four discourses allows displaying this logic and crossing it with certain works of Foucault. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Jealousy deceives. The characteristics of jealousy are registered into the master's discourse. Freud and Lacan studied jealousy to show its strength and constant involvement in all human formations, and found that the way out of it is either segregation or death. This is why the analytical discourse suggested, from Freud, that another type of affection be attended so as to produce a real cut with respect to the desire of the Other; it is angst, an affection which does not fool and allows a non-segregating separation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In his developments on the imaginary, Lacan departed from the Freudian interpretation of the oedipal relationship between brothers, but he "distanced" himself from Freud's idea of jealousy; then, in the context of Seminar 17, when reinterpreting the Freudian myth of the primitive horde, he came up with a new concept of brotherhood. It can be said that, regarding the relationship between brothers, Lacan moved "beyond the Oedipus". To complement this Lacanian development, we turn to the function of the witness as a way of apprehending the point where the brother is not only a fellowman, but a figure of the neighbor.
