215 | www.limina-graz.eu Massimo Recalcati | Die Zerstörung des sozialen Bandes und die Hyperaktivität im Diskurs des Kapitalisten | BIOGRAPHY Massimo Recalcati ist praktizierender Psychoanalytiker in Mailand und lehrt an verschiedenen italienischen und europäischen Universitäten (der- zeit Pavia und Verona). | KEY WORDS Diskurs des Kapitalisten; Freiheit des Konsumenten; Jacques Lacan; Liebe; Mehr-Genießen This article investigates the idea of freedom based on the psychoanalytical Dis- course of the Capitalist by Jacques Lacan. It unmasks capitalism as a totalitar- ian ideology that supplants a communal God at the centre with the imperative of enjoyment. It analyses the cunning mechanisms of the circulation of goods, which not only creates new pathologies through the concept of ever-acceler- ating accumulation and consumption, but fundamentally transforms the rela- tionship between human beings and their environment, the others and them- selves. In contrast, the discourse of love maintains negative moments of absence and interruption on the path to realising freedom.
