The modern subject is subjected to the social bond of the capitalist discourse. His structure has not changed, but his relationships to language and to jouissance have been modified. The subject invents solutions in order to construct his subjectivity and bear his existence

The symptom as a bodily event is the point of exception to the established form of social bond and is connected to the jouissance of the body. The modern subject is subjected to the social bond of the capitalist discourse. His structure has not changed, but his relationships to language and to jouissance have been modified. The subject invents solutions in order to construct his subjectivity and bear his existence, but also to object to the Other or signify his annulment as it is dictated by the capitalist’s discourse. What is the place of psychoanalysis in these conditions of subjectivisation?

“But the world is sleeping in ignorance and error, sir, and we must be crowing cocks, and singing larks, and a raising sun to awake her.”

“We must therefore rediscover, after the natural world, the social world, not as an object or sum of objects, but as a permanent field or dimension of existence.” ― Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Phenomenology of Perception

“The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other.”

“Freedom and Government” - Bertrand Russell

"There may not be, you know, as much humanity in the world as one would like to see, but there is some. There's more than one would think. In any case, if you...if you break faith with what you know...that's a betrayal of many, many, many, many people. I may know six people, but that's enough. Love has never been a popular movement and no-one's ever wanted really to be free. The world is held together, really it is, held together, by the love and the passion of a very few people. Otherwise, of course you can despair. Walk down the street of any city, any afternoon, and look around you. What you've got to remember is what you're looking at is also you. Everyone you're looking at is also you. You could be that person, you could be that monster, you could be that cop. And you have to decide in yourself not to be."

(Meeting the Man: James Baldwin in Paris (1970), dir. Terence Dixon)
