PSYCHOANALYSIS AND POLITICS: FOR A PRACTICE OF INCOMPLETENESSABSTRACT
This article develops a deliberation on the relations between psychoanalysis and politics, initially noting a paradox in this relation, since, despite a mutual refusal, the interlocutions are historically countless and fruitful. From this, the article considers the political propositions of psychoanalysis from its notion of subject and the logical discussion between the universal and the contingent. Following, guided by an ontic discussion, the article presents the historical process of emergence of the modern and contemporary world, considering the literary works of Foucault and Lacan, and reporting the genesis of segregationist logic, based on installation of knowledge as the main political operator in modernity. With this, the article aims to carry out a relevant discussion about the effects of transformations in our current world and its main ideology, the "bio-political apoliticism", illustrated by the process of globalization and neoliberal logic.
