Abstract
This paper analyzes the way to build political subjectivity of neoliberal capitalism using tools from Lacan´s theory of discourses. I concludes that neo-liberalism was constituted as a new master discourse during the 1990s. The new master was structured through an updated articulation of the capitalist discourse with a university discourse and a reformulation of the old master discourse. Through the metaphorical construction and the superego mandates of their representatives, this discourse was invested with a corporal and linguistic enjoyment. In turn, the master demonstrated giving up part of the enjoyment to the slave-worker through a fantasy of freedom in order to choose autonomously in the market, participate horizontally with the boss in the new flexible order and access, through sacrifice, a future of wealth of the rich. This illusion of the return of enjoyment to the slave reinforced the political domination of the master-businessman. In the Argentinean case, together with the permanence of Convertibility Plan as an object a cause of desire, from Menem to De la Rúa it was found a change of register in the superego commands and in the sources of enjoyment, within a same neoliberal capitalist discourse of social disciplination.
