"The cohesion in the interior of a control reduced,
the possibility of the sure forecasts,
the absolute character of the relations of number,
the man adheres to these weak supports as
The boy to the arms of his mother.
¿ What sense would have the cohesion and the absolute one
of the numbers if had a beyond -completely another-
That enclosed them? If this cohesion were it all?
For whom desfallece, the cohesion, the absolute one,
they do not do more than enlarging the anguish: no rest,
Any certainty, even the not-adhesion is doubtful.
The real thing, the possible thing, the cohesion and the beyond
of the cohesion they surround al man on all sides,
as a pressing enemy would do him: war
Without peace neither imaginable truce, without victory neither desirable rout. . .
We clamor for the final truth, we dream of the peace,
but is the war what there is once more. "(1)

"I have returned to my beginning. I understand that though I am able,
through the science, to grasp the phenomena and to enumerate them,
I cannot apprehend the world by means of she.
When have followed with the finger
All its relief I will not know more than now." (2)

"I believe that I have become one of the hollow men
While more shine abroad in these days.
I can feel the outside being fed of my interior
Leaving a growing darkness in its place.

I believe that I have become one of the hollow men.

I believe that I have become one of the solitary
Just now that all they speak me.
I feel that I have become one of the empty men. "(3)

Evidently, a question is imposed on what would be able to be thought as obvious: ¿What is the posmodernidad?

First answer, certainly unsubstantial: the posmodernidad is the epoch in which we find us. Second answer, also insulsa: the posmodernidad is the epoch heir of the thought and of the work of the modernity.
They said which, to approach a definition of the posmodernidad is need of first order to give a brief walk for which is the modernity, or better said, for which was the modernity, and in this manner, to surpass the plan of the symbiosis of insipid answers that have offered that, as every symbiosis, few possibilities leaves the narration.

Therefore well, to the modernity there would be that to define it as was it in which the reason was proclaimed like that Another indiviso so desired by the humanity. Epoch that is initiated around the 18th century and in base al "cogito" of Rule out (4), the modernity established to the science as the way to be assured a harmonic future, where the man would reach the liberty, understood this in terms of economic and intellectual prosperity for all. The modernity represented thus the grave of the elderly one oscurantista and the birth of the boy of the lights , who, considered all to discover and all by inventing.

It would be able to say that, in the modernity, the ship of the humanity sitd in front of the supposed continent of the Truth, continent that was there, expecting to be explored for be not more than black color and to offer then its unusual fruits. The semen of the science and the flare of the technology would be the lighting and the fertility responsible for conquering the happy continent; responsible for offering to the human race the calculations that would carry it to obtain the enjoyment fálico worthy of supplying what for each one was the enjoyment of the to be. Without doubt, of this modern impetus, the most venerated product was the industrial revolution, which, wine to symbolize the zenith of the reign of the intellect, and in this manner became the banner of the absolute end of the slavery.

Basically that was the modernity and, certainly, many benefits were reached like the cure to diverse illnesses, to have the possibility of a life more practical thanks al optimum storage of the information, and many achievements more than great importance that does not do lack to enumerate here; therefore, I want to express that the following lines do not propose a yearning by the ignorance that preceded the present epoch.

Nevertheless, it seems me fundamental to indicate that the modern spirit was forgot that the Truth is unattainable, and put sideways that that to know that was erected like the Truth would leave the empty subjects of poiesis once was reached. Exactly to this him it is called posmodernidad: "the epoch in which the man no longer is enthused for a future that sings , promised for before or for after the death." (5) The posmodernidad, is the epoch in which the disillusionment reigns, in which all seems to be done, explained, quantified. The happy continent of the Truth was explored, was illuminated and al was fertilized price to leave al subject before the perspective of the famous one "end of the times". The house of the fiction fell, of what could be, and in its place , we have the mansion holográfica of what is and will be scientifically. Aldous Huxley called to this A happy world: pure happiness, the life fixed, immunity before the death, then, pure subjective death. And to the harmful consequences that this would be able to lead to, and that in fact, already they begin to cause to note, Georges Orwell offered them the title of 1984.
In the posmodernidad, the lack, that that since the fund of the unconscious one encourages to live, is blocked for the to know on the object and by the to have it ; a to know that tells me that all the new thing is of obsolete and old entrance (6 ); a to know that does not want to know anything of that that determines it, that is to say, of it insabido, of that that is exactly what to end of It constitutes my humanity, not that cell humanity but that humanity of the invention, of the desire.

The posmodernismo suggests that avoid me the inconvenience to speak, tells me that I am predestined, and I, subject, I am believing him me. And I should I say that he was logical, yes, logical that thus he passed, therefore, "the forclusión of the subject is the condition of the to know about the science. The to know on the object is proposed as exclusive of the truth of the subject." (7) The science was the hope of the modernism in views to a life of equilibrium, and now, becomes the killer of that hope of the one that was born.

Of the insipid thing to the anguish. These they seem to be the roads that proposes the posmodernidad: the banality of the consumerism and the blood of the production thanks al knowledge on the object and in last benefit of this, knowledge that, paradoxical, is called to be the relief for the pain to exist.

1) The subjetividad in the posmodernidad.

Where remains the subject inside the postmodern culture?

If we take into account that said culture is governed mainly by an evil position, a position that tries to return object al I subject with products of all types, which they are offered like the putty for resanar the lack, we can say that the subject in the posmodernidad is being destined to the showcase, al confinement in itself.

Just when the world have globalized, and diverse possibilities exist to build social ties, is when the man has been found more alone, at the disposal of the legal and illegal medicines and at the mercy of the wave ligth that is proposed like the companion of a body that aspires to the perfection. And he is found so alone, due to that his word has passed to last plan and what seems to have supremacy is the supposed one to be able that show off, that is to say, the number and value of goods with the ones that relate that the to know about the one that creditor be done above all in matter of technological and scientific advances, as well as the number of people of the ones that arrange. If what is important is not more the dialogue but the possessions, the subject remains then annulled, reduced he also al number of registration and of account; the subject, is eradicated thus of its singularity to be caged in the immense mass consumista, being outlined toward the individualism.

The success of this operation by no means situates in which the subjects be predominantly evil, as would be able to deduce a simplistic thought, al contrary, if what popularly known as "consumerism" is successful, is because this is offered like the solution to the hysteria, as the solution to the question by the absent enjoyment and as the solution to the question by the to know on the symptom. The tragedy arrives when the subject discovers, conscious or unconsciously, that is playing a play lost beforehand in which he trusted to find the complement. In this way, the posmodernidad, gradually he goes drying every illusion of progress with material answers increasingly more sophisticated, in the sense that they try "to convince" of that they represent the piece faltante al puzzle of the subjetividad, showing al final not to be it. Every dream by reaching the enjoyment fálico (ideal of the I) according to the precepts of the modernity is dying, and in its place, advances along the way paved by the technology that mortal enjoyment and without intermediaries that is the enjoyment of the to be (I ideal) (8), an enjoyment that is the nothing omnipotente , enemy of the speech, therefore, enemy of the subject of the demand.

The posmodernidad is used to satiating and to disappoint al subject. It is for this reason that day by day we see to be multiplied the suicides, the murders , the violations and other atrocities, very often under the flag of the classism, of the racism and of the famous one "kind", always with the song to be differentiated and at the same time to exercise the re-clamor by virtue of maintaining the lack, therefore, in the postmodern subject "two contrary forces are faced, one of the which runs To the other and to devour it in its victory. What to do, if not to throw the own part you're welcome on someone?" (9). Being thus, all those crimes that break the Law do not represent more than the intent by ratifying the desire, by giving him its place to the lack, which would reiterate itself thanks al weight of the law that sanctions judicially those acts -in the best of the cases- and in this manner, to be given an own place, although be a place swims comfortable. Yes, to drive al style Meursault seems to be in fad these days (10).
In this sense, comes me to the memory Michael Moore, to whom certainly by no means would be able him themselves to qualify as just or of revolutionary, and who in their very diffused movie Massacre in Columbine, was asked why the Americans have the highest index of the world as for mortandad by firearm. I think that the answer always was in his documentary one but al to seem the filmmaker did not be able cernirla of the all, beyond that have sat the bases to be able to do it. Being the country responsible for the tip of the economy and the arms build-up, which they are supported for a political positivist of the useful thing as true, United States of North America is without doubt the postmodern center by excellence, consequently, their citizens are the most prone to suffer the consequences of the evil annulment (which another) that, certainly, operates especially in who more economic resources have (11). The exit to that state objetal many times is the violence to right hand and sinister.

Of the previous thing, perhaps digressing a little, and speaking since the social context in which there I am advenido as subject, the need is removed that in Mexico the rites be conserved that have contributed to give him popularity to this country, since these myths carried to the action constitute a barrier before the current one utilitaria that emanates of the worship to the science. Those rites, like the day of the dead persons (2 of November) and the day of the kings magicians (6 of January), by citing two examples, they are formed in base al conditional, in base to a tertiary model, as occurs with the subjetividad in the Oedipal theater. In compensation, the science is produced in base al binary code, in base to the false thing and to the true thing , with the sight always put toward the terrero of the true thing, of the ascertainable thing , therefore as already I have advanced it, nevertheless that also be initiated in base al conditional, the achievements of the science always aspire to erase of the leaf the hypothesis of the ones that arose. This it is the fundamental reason to conserve those rites, beyond the nostalgia and of the nationalism, is a reason that do not doubt in call it of public health.

On the other hand, and as for the sexuality, there would be that to say that this postmodern epoch apparently has benefited it. The repression that in the modernity reigned, and that was impelled in hiding or al less to defer it more possible the enjoyment that of the connection could be extracted, has been defeated by the slogans of liberation and know-do with the body that demand the time that was wasted without enjoying. It is as well as the carnal encounter is being utilized as the hook to sell any product. At present, the message that reigns in the publicity is that of that obtaining any of the merchandise that bombard to the population everywhere and to every hour, the orgasm is insured. Al respect Pommier affirms: "The sexual pleasure, until yesterday nocturnal and secret, today returns obligatory: the mass media speak of him all the time. The orgasm became a duty." (12) Already all is worth itself on behalf of the sexual enjoyment, the joke is not to be remained out of the full satisfaction. Unfortunately, here also the posmodernidad finishes for showing the deceit. Since the psychoanalysis we know that:

"" The sexual relation does not exist", therefore does not exist like rapport, as relation that is established in the logic, and does not exist as reaporte of what each one lost al to enter the life as effect of the section, of the sexión, of the resección of the enjoyment that castration is called." (13)

For that reason, the fall does not delay a lot in being presented for whom trusts in the end by means of the way of the intercourse. The obligation by the ecstacy way the connection is an obligation that by no means can comply without there desfallezca the same human and consequently , the desire. The deception is insured for whom ventures in this postmodern land expecting the total happiness. The consequences, the majority of the times are not very pleasant, however , this deception is in repeated occasions the road that carries to the subject to the demand of analysis.

And speaking of analysis, ¿what role plays this in it was postmodern?

2) Psychoanalysis and posmodernidad.

MYSELF have said that the posmodernidad, al to be governed for a predominantly evil position since tries objetalizar the subjetividad , causes that the subjects be to mercy of the I ideal, I ideal that another thing is us that the return of that enjoyment that tends obturar the word and that is known like enjoyment of the to be. Also I have outlined that this event is the main reason by which at present the crimes that more touch to the company, and the spectacles of gluttony and exhibitionism that the mass average diffuse, they reproduce themselves so that they graze the habit. Nevertheless , I have not mentioned that the postmodern subject finds commonly another way to show that their desire has not been crushed, and that their demand persists above the culture of the crammed. That another way consists of resorting to whom in theory would be able to re-establish the desire, and that someone results many times to be every subject interfered in the country psi. Psychologists, psychiatrists, psicoterapeutas and of course , psychoanalysts, are the professionals to whom each time more he is requested him his aid, his "solutions".

Sadly, and I dare to say that until rule, the psychology, the psychiatry and their conjugation, the psicoterapia, they do not do more than aggravating, to make drowsy, to hide and/or to substitute the discomfort that bothers al subject that resorts to them al to appoint him implicit and explicitly the object of their desire. The psychology does it al to produce and to diffuse ontological explanations on the origin of the symptom and its probable disappearance, explanations that do not surpass the plan of the I and of it socially esperable. The psychiatry causes going to sleep it the symptom with drugs, basing on the biological consequences of the discomfort and in the classifications that offers the DSM in any of its presentations and revisions. The psicoterapia causes trying it "re-adapt " al subject to their "medium" providing counsels, dynamic and tasks that are in itself the proposal of healing of the existence, therefore, the psicoterapia, they as told me in my formation as the psychologist , "reeduca to the individuals" (14). The results of any of of these strategies in which the professional with difficulty can fall of the place of the supposed Subject to Know, they go of the indifferent thing to the horrible thing for the patient who first will travel through the road of the suggestion.

Clearly I have placed al discovered that the psychoanalysis is to my to understand the congruent device with the demand of the postmodern subject, and of every subject in general, since in short, said demand is that of being able to open the path of the desire.

With Freud and they Lacquer, we have understood that the psychoanalysis is called to be the space where the subject is found with its castration, with its middle to say, and that that encounter is destined to open the doors of the desire, that is to say, the doors of the love, and the love is to give the lack , exactly that that at present is obturado to a large extent of the population to world level.

The postmodern subject embodies the belief that already there is not nothing but to offer neither that offer him, feels that the drive is being satisfied. Then, today more than ever, the psychoanalysis -that said be in transit is a device arisen thanks to the modernity and not in a paradoxical way but logical- is outlined like the barrier al I ideal and as the path by where with its actions the subject builds its history toward the ideal of the I, an ideal by always incomplete and therefore, prolific, in the measure in which maintains beating Desire. Thus therefore, the function of the psychoanalysis is not to cure the lack but to give him its place, to show the incompletud of what today intends to be complete, to show, in short, the limits that the death imposes and that nowadays they seem no longer to be glimpsed , which, does not conduct to another place that to the perennial anesthesia. One must recall that: "The man this custom-made fact of the death, to such an extent that, far from succumbing al fright, is the vision of the fright what frees him. "(15)

"By this the psychoanalysis is not destined to acquire a to know that assure the full harmony of the subject with the world. No to know would be able to eliminate the to know about the unconscious one that in its repetitive insistence declares the inevitable absence of harmony in that relation" (16)

The function of the psychoanalysis in the posmodernidad is the same old function especially since the teaching of they Lacquer, only that today is a function that turns out to be evident, and that by the same thing, leaves little to refute him.

"The option for the subject is clear: between the enjoyment and the desire, one of two, or the anguish by the lack of the lack. . . or the love that is to give the lack, the castration, the -j, the unique thing that will be able to permit the condescendencia of one al another. "(17)

It treats then that the desire of the subject advenga in the place that is occupied in the posmodernidad by the enjoyment obtained thanks to the objects ; to cross the slavery that directs the master of the speech of the science based on the ordinance to work for the efficacy. Thus, it others will be pure failure, nothing of scientific perfection neither of pure to know about the same order but pure humanity: the life with its indispensable lack of structure and the possibilities that this opens to drive for own account, and not in decision of the demands of the cheating culture consumista that, in the fund, reduces the action to the mere contemplation, and in this way, has become Species of nuclear reactor of the symptom al to intensify it with a to know that supposedly would disappear it. Thus, will remain clear that the real thing is predominantly inaprensible.

Without doubt, many questionings, and even, enconos, they arise from the determinismo of these brief reflections. Already there will be time to agree them. . .
