Reflexões sobre lei e inconsciente, poder e força-violência e conexões com o ato político-pedagógico de emancipação, com base em Slavoj Zizek

Abstract

For Zizek, the idea of an empty form of the law, beyond its positive incarnations, points to its affirmation as unconscious and as one trace of repressed content. On the other hand, concerning to the force as violence, it´s up to point out that it´s anchored as much on the foundation as on the conservation of the power. Moreover, the subjective dimension of violence must be interpreted in terms of its articulation with the symbolic and objective (or systemic) dimension of violence, and not as one isolated phenomenon. As regards to education, it´s appropriated to observe that, accordingly the point of view of Zizek, the educational act needs to have an elective affinity with the political act, which breaks off with the master significant overlapped with the commodity fetishism and with the social form of capital. That´s to say, one subject for to be free and emancipated, he needs to transcend and break off with the systemic coordinates of capital, through a commitment which is placed against the alienating symbolic network and counter-positioned to “reification” and strangeness in social relations. This implicates to get rid of a submerging and an imprisonment of the subject in institutional, prescriptive and technological arrangements and devices of control and self-control, which are getting on with the reproduction of capital. In a synthetic explanation we can say that only when the subjective process presents an elective affinity with a theoretical and social praxis, which is expressed through a creative and collective and a free and sovereign activity, it´s possible to occur an individual and social process of emancipation.
