Abstract

In this article we analyze how the incidences of the discourse of capitalist are presented over the answers the subject tries to contest facing the imperatives of such a discourse. We assume that the science discourse joins with the technoscientific discourse in a hybrid conjunction that affects the truth and the knowledge taken as a mark of subjectivity that is declining today. Therefore, we presented the relation between the ideals of happiness of the culture and the constant insistence of the rest as cause of endless discontentment. We also analyze how techonoscience responds to this discontentment by carrying a statute of a self-made truth ready to be consumed giving privilege to the technological inventiveness and genetics engineering. The individual is left submerse under a superegoic imperative that petrifies him/her in an order of unlimited jouissance. If in the capitalism discourse the Other does not exists as one that is able to support a structural function, the individual is captive of an anonymous ideology. Finally, we conclude that the order of the capitalist master is that it is indeed possible to apprehend the rest by having a direct relation with the objects of consume. Nonetheless, psychoanalysis explains that to “domesticate” the rest is a fallacy from the capitalistic discourse, once the real cannot be captured by the conscience. The consequences are the constant irruptions of the real in the acts of violence so ordinary in our society.
