Abstract

In the context of a predominance of evaluative and surveillance practices
which fall upon various domains of contemporary life, this article aims to
elucidate the erasing of exception paths and effects on contemporaneity
from a psychoanalytic standpoint. From the ancient master’s discourse to the
modern master’s discourse, academic and capitalist, the knowledge obtained
by utility and value measures starts to direct political and individual decisions,
previously guided by tradition. In the face of this reality, the bureaucratic
administration gear towards the subjects, striving for homogenizing and subordinating them to the modern ideal of transparency, guaranteed
by the knowledge extracted and decoded by the evaluation apparatus.
Psychoanalysis garners the effects from this contemporary social bond, but,
in a distinct way from that of the dominant discourse, offers another destiny
to the intimate, to the jouissance that can be neither accounted for, nor
homogenized.
