Lacan with Marx in Wall Street, a day before the end: an analysis on Margin Call from the confluence of the Lacanian theory of speeches and the Marxian critique of political economy

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract:

From the theory of the speech of Jacques Lacan, in dialog with Karl Marx´s theory of value, the text analyses the film Margin Call, which fictionally portraits the unchaining of current capitalist crisis, with the bankruptcy of the Lehman Brothers bank, in 2008. Amongst the issues posed by the text, besides the role of the discourse of the science in the current society, the persistence of the capitalist speech is to be evidenced.

Keywords:
Theory of Speech of Lacan; Capitalist Speech and Resistance to Psychoanalysis; Psychoanalysis and Marxism.
