ABSTRACT
The fascist principles imbue and hierarchize social relationships, influencing speech and overall communication. Psychoanalysis, as a critical tool, makes it possible to contemplate the organizing terms of the fascist discourse and discourses on fascism. The significance of Jacques Lacan’s theorization about discourse lies in the identification of a number of possible symbolic forms through which the unconscious reveals itself in the intersubjective milieu of communication and configuration of social ties. Lacan delineates four discourses that describe the relation of the subject to the real: the discourse of the Master, the discourse of the University, the discourse of the Hysteric, and the discourse of the Analyst. For each of them, Lacan develops a corresponding schema, an algorithm. Three fundamental terms operate in each discourse: the signifier, the subject, and the object. In the position of production, the most innovative element of Lacanian discourse is found; this is jouissance, bound to the signifier and knowledge.
