 Introduction

Not only as value, but also as surplus

This work is inspired by Slavoj Žižek’s critique of capitalism and by Laca-

nian epistemology. Both fields are discussed in their broad theoretical sig-
nificance as well as in specific connection with the notion of surplus, which
constitutes the basis of my analysis of Žižek’s dialectics. The division of the
book into two parts reflects my intention to situate the question of surplus
within capitalism first, and then in relation to dialectical thought. The over-
arching discussion developed in Part 1 stems from the consideration that
the axis Marx-Lacan, which Žižek has undoubtedly strengthened and pop-
ularized, needs to be eviscerated in epistemological terms rather than as a
straightforward political constellation. In the seminars immediately follow-
ing the events of May ’68 (Seminar XVI and XVII) Lacan developed an
intriguing critique of Marxism founded upon the following epistemologi-
cal axiom, which can be said to lie at the heart of his psychoanalytic teach-
ing: the weight of knowledge is unconscious. If, in Marxian terms, labour and the
knowledge thereby registered is the quantifiable common denominator of
all human activity, for Lacan such equivalence needs to be reformulated in
light of the inclusion of a supplement he calls surplus-jouissance, the sense-
less libidinal excess emerging with, and disturbing, all attempts at significa-
tion. I argue that Lacan’s homology between Marx’s notion of surplus-value
(based in the capitalist’s expropriation of the worker’s labour-power) and
surplus-jouissance should be grasped, first and foremost, as an attempt to
demonstrate the preponderance of jouissance over value. Lacan shows how
work, like the knowledge from which it arises, cannot be reduced to a value,
for it does not coincide with its measure but is instead traversed by an entro-
pic and recalcitrant surplus which defies quantification. Put differently,
intrinsic to work is a degree of opacity which speaks for the unconscious
roots of any knowledge-at-work. It is from this awareness that Lacan launches
his scathing attacks against the dominance of value within the university
2 On Žižek’s Dialectics

discourse (the hegemonic discourse of modernity), which is precisely where

the capitalist function is nestled.
From Lacan’s epistemological perspective, the production of a piece of
conscious knowledge is always, in its deepest configuration, the result of a
revelation whose unconscious resonance cannot be obfuscated by the intro-
duction of credit points in the university, or by the ubiquitous valorization
of experience imposed by capital. In this respect, Marx’s surplus-value
effectively performs a kind of “epistemological violation” of surplus-
jouissance, despite being rooted in and drawing its strength from the latter.
Lacan’s key political wager, which he makes throughout Seminar XVII, is
that the capitalist utopia of a fully valorized universe can only fail, since the
indigestible remainder of the process of valorization is the point of univer-
sality of each and every discourse, including the capitalist one. Significantly,
Lacan shifts the emphasis from the Marxian quandary concerning surplus-
value to the question of human surplus, which he defines in terms of exclu-
sion and segregation. Along similar lines, Marx’s commodity fetishism
appears to Lacan as the gentrified version of surplus-jouissance, whose dis-
turbingly empty core is hijacked, camouflaged and converted into the pro-
pelling force behind the consumer’s pursuit of ersatz-enjoyment. However,
the original surplus cannot be eliminated, for it survives in exclusion. It is
in the inert human surplus of capitalist dynamics, Lacan claims, that one
should look for an image of truth and salvation, ultimately embodied in the
motif of “brotherhood”:

The energy that we put into all being brothers very clearly proves that we
are not brothers. Even with our brother by birth nothing proves that we
are his brother – we can have a completely different batch of chromo-
somes. This pursuit of brotherhood, without counting the rest, liberty and
equality, is something that’s pretty extraordinary, and it is appropriate to
realize what it covers. I know only one single origin of brotherhood – I
mean human, always humus brotherhood – segregation. We are of course
in a period where segregation, ugh! There is no longer any segregation
anywhere, it’s unheard of when you read the newspapers. It’s just that in
society – I don’t want to call it “human” because I use the term sparingly,
I am careful about what I say, I am not a man of the left, I observe – every-
thing that exists, and brotherhood first and foremost, is founded on seg-
regation. No other brotherhood is even conceivable or has the slightest
foundation, as I have just said, the slightest scientific foundation, unless
it’s because people are isolated together, isolated from the rest. (Lacan
2007: 114)
 Introduction 3

I argue that what we have in this conflation of segregation and brotherhood

is a profoundly dialectical figure that needs to become the catalyst of a new
political discourse of universal emancipation. A political epistemology
derived from Lacanian psychoanalysis provides us with a dialectical frame-
work where knowledge – intended in its indissoluble tie with fantasy as the
substance of our immersion in the socio-symbolic order – is defined by both
its intrinsic materiality and entropic surplus. As I try to illustrate by bringing
the focus on the half-forgotten figure of Alfred Sohn-Rethel, it is crucial to
insist on the question of the materiality of knowledge-at-work, or the unity
of head and hand, which in truth is also central to Lacan’s stance. The his-
torical novelty of the capitalist process that leads to the creation of surplus-
value, he claims, is centred on the extraction of knowledge from the slave/
worker. During this process the entropy originally consubstantial with
knowledge is converted into value and marketed as enjoyment. The whole
point, however, is that the gap between “obscure” knowledge-at-work and
capitalist enjoyment does not disappear, but returns in the form of “human
waste”, namely the ghostly masses of slum-dweller produced by, and simul-
taneously excluded from, the dynamics of value-formation.
It is from the vantage point of a Lacanian epistemology based in the
potential re-articulation of knowledge via its “unconscious materiality” that
I consider some of Žižek’s key terms, such as parallax and subtraction. I see
these terms as profoundly dialectical, for they reassert the primacy of con-
tradiction and negativity in the naturalized realm of capital. We should not
lose sight of the fact that the so-called loss of values and angst-ridden frag-
mentation of experience that accompanies our pursuit of enjoyment is sus-
tained by and conducive to the affirmation of an increasingly unquestioned
socio-symbolic framework characterized not only by the free circulation of
commodities, but also by systematic violence, human exploitation and exclu-
sion. It is against this subtly disavowed and yet fully operative framework that
I examine the dialectical impact of parallax and subtraction, exploring the
extent of their continuity with Lacan’s notion of surplus-jouissance as well as
with Žižek’s Hegelian motif of “tarrying with the negative”.
Part 2 begins with an evaluation of the political potential inscribed in
Žižek’s appraisal of subjectivity. While exploring the Lacanian and Hege-
lian origins of Žižek’s concept of the subject, I first unravel his ground-
breaking analysis of how the subject connects with the ideological fantasy
woven in external reality. The key point here is that since our being caught
in ideology ultimately depends on our unconscious libidinal attachments
(i.e. on a strictly speaking non-ideological feature which at the same time
sustains also the ideological field), it follows that we are never fully aware of
4 On Žižek’s Dialectics

the extent of our subjection. With regard to this point, it is worth noting
that in his essay ‘Free Time’ Adorno tells us a slightly different story. Though
he had clearly identified the coercive character of the injunction to enjoy
typical of consumer capitalism, he thought that the subject’s awareness of
the ideological role played by enjoyment implied a certain wisdom and
potential liberation from ideology. While analysing the public reactions in
Germany to the 1966 wedding between Princess Beatrix of Holland and
junior German diplomat Claus von Amsberg, Adorno admits that ‘people
enjoyed it as a concrete event in the here and now quite unlike anything
else in their life’. However, many of them also

showed themselves to be thoroughly realistic, and proceeded to evaluate

critically the political and social importance of the same event [. . .]. What
the culture industry presents people with in their free time, if my conclu-
sions are not too hasty, is indeed consumed and accepted, but with a kind
of reservation, in the same way as even the most naive theatre or filmgo-
ers do not simply take what they behold there for real. Perhaps one can
go even further and say that it is not quite believed in. It is obvious that
the integration of consciousness and free time has not yet completely suc-
ceeded. The real interests of individuals are still strong enough to resist,
within certain limits, total inclusion. [. . .] I think that we can here glimpse
a chance of maturity (Mündigkeit), which might just eventually help to
turn free time into freedom proper. (Adorno 1991: 196–97)

If this consciousness, for Adorno, implies that freedom from ideology is

still possible, for Žižek it signifies an even more effective form of ideological
enslavement. Žižek’s ideology critique relies on Lacan’s motto “les non-
dupes errant”: those who think that they are not being fooled are in the
wrong, for ideology is particularly effective over those who count on a
degree of imaginary dis-identification from the ideological predicament –
this being especially true of the cynical post-modern subject who believes
precisely through disbelief. In this sense, psychoanalytic critique signifi-
cantly updates the classical Marxian theory of alienation, according to
which, once freed from capitalist ideology, human beings will be able to
embrace the right (non-alienated) desires and satisfy all their needs. Against
this utopian view, Žižek sides with Lacan in claiming that alienation is noth-
ing less than subjectivity’s very condition of possibility. We form our identity and
are able to interact with others only through self-alienation, i.e. by deposit-
ing some knowledge about ourselves into that off-limits reservoir we call the
unconscious. Thought itself is co-extensive with a practice of separation
 Introduction 5

from the surplus which traverses thought as well as external reality and its
causal link – inasmuch as thought is always caught in the latter, and as such
it can only emerge and expand in the big Other.
What would seem to bedevil Žižek’s materialism is that it requires thought
to be heteronomous instead of autonomous, that is to say dependent on
conditions which in the last and crucial instance are external to (political)
consciousness. Such materialism cannot emerge as causa sui but is triggered
by “miraculous” occurrences that escape its radar, its conscious control.
Similarly to Alain Badiou’s notion of the event, the Žižekian act is unverifi-
able, subject to conditions that cannot be thought in advance. More pre-
cisely, Žižek’s dialectics are predicated upon a coincidence or overlapping
of lacks: the subject qua empty signifier, , and the non-existence of the big
Other, S(). For Badiou, what matters are evental contingencies which
thought has to recognize and show fidelity to; for Žižek, radical change
emerges ex nihilo, from the contingent cracks of historicity in which the sub-
ject discovers its own core. This is why Žižek argues that a genuine material-
ist embraces the destabilizing surplus qua lack constitutive of jouissance,
with no guarantee that some good might result from this act: ‘A true mate-
rialism joyously assumes the “disappearance of matter,” the fact that there
is only void’ (Žižek 2004c: 25).
It would be misleading, however, to place all the emphasis on the moment
of negativity, for Žižek’s dialectics endorse the Lacanian ‘connection
between death-drive and creative sublimation: in order for (symbolic) cre-
ation to take place, the death-drive (Hegelian self-relating absolute negativ-
ity) has to accomplish its work of, precisely, emptying the place, and thus
making it ready for creation’ (Žižek 2008c: xxx). As is well known, Žižek has
developed this dialectical sequence in close connection with theology, inso-
far as he sees in the Christian narrative of Fall and Redemption a perfect
representation of what is needed today. With this regard he not only claims
that ‘the subversive kernel of Christianity [. . .] is accessible only to a mate-
rialist approach’, but also that ‘to become a true dialectical materialist, one
should go through the Christian experience’ (Žižek 2003b: 6). Žižek’s athe-
istic interpretation of Christianity as implicitly dialectical and materialistic
is not the object of this study. However, it does provide a clear entry point
to the understanding of the two terms of Žižek’s dialectics that I consider
alongside surplus, namely subtraction and sublimation.
The central Lacanian thesis apropos surplus-jouissance is that the surplus
therein articulated corresponds to a void, a lack to be intended as a “pas-
sage through symbolic death”, which as such represents the substantial and
implicitly traumatic ingredient of any authentic instance of subtraction. On
6 On Žižek’s Dialectics

the one hand, I examine the political import of subtraction in relation to

the considerable centripetal and cooptative resources of both capitalism
and liberal democracy, as well as alongside the Lacanian topos of human
exclusion. On the other hand, I contend that the second, necessary dialec-
tical step of the concrete reconfiguration of surplus into a new order must
be conceived of as disengaged from the theory vs. praxis framework in
which it is generally placed. The diatribe on the practical implications of
the Žižekian act is not examined in this book, due to the fact that I regard
it, strictly speaking, as a false problem. Rather than claiming a direct con-
nection with practical interventions, sublimation should first be located
within the vertiginous dimension of thought, for it implies the creative task
of thinking a new social constellation characterized by a radically changed
calibration of the Symbolic vis-à-vis the Real surplus of jouissance. In Herbert
Marcuse’s exemplary words: ‘The groundwork for building the bridge
between the “ought” and the “is”, between theory and practice, is laid within
theory itself’ (Marcuse 1972: 66). If a dialectical materialism informed by
Lacanian epistemology can only be prompted and authenticated by the col-
lapse of knowledge qua subtraction from our comfortable immersion in the
shared horizon of meaning, it must at some point coincide with the effort of
reclaiming the unthought of thought, that ‘disembodied rational machine’
(Žižek 2000: 62) unreachable and yet inseparable from thought’s histori-
cally given terrain.1 The surplus of knowledge is identical to both its erasure
and the spark of an intuition that springs from the unconscious and opens
up the space for a new constellation. If knowledge first needs to be evacu-
ated, the glimmer of another dimension is already inscribed in its collapse.
The two moments (negativity and the spark of the new) belong together,
and together they oppose the “dead knowledge” of the university discourse.
What I have in mind is the sudden, inexplicable, exalting awareness of chil-
dren, poets, great philosophers and political thinkers who have not severed
the link with the flash of “unknown knowledge” which constitutes the
unconscious.
I want to conclude this Introduction by way of an example from my aca-
demic experience. In my undergraduate course on European Cinema, the
first three films that students are required to watch are (what I regard as)
three gems of contemporary cinema: The Son’s Room (Nanni Moretti), Three
Colours: Blue (Krszysztof Kieslowski) and The Man without a Past (Aki
Kaurismaki). What strikes me about these works is, to put it succinctly, their
almost coincidental reliance on a very precise narrative structure, which
I do not hesitate to call dialectical. In all three films, everything hinges on
a surplus of knowledge which proves to have both a traumatic and (at least
potentially) liberating effect on the main characters. In The Son’s Room, the
 Introduction 7

knowledge in question concerns the son, and emerges only after his tragic
death: nobody in the family had realized the extent to which he was alive,
i.e. pervaded by a destabilizing desire. In Blue, the surplus of knowledge
concerns the husband. Again, only after his tragic death does his wife realize
that he was leading a second life: he had a lover, with whom he was starting
a new family. Finally, in The Man without a Past, the knowledge in question
concerns the main character himself, who after being mugged loses his
memory, reawakens in the slums of the big city (Helsinki), and refashions
his life among the “human debris” of modern society. The magic of all
three films lies in the way they show us that the traumatic “unplugging”
from the socio-symbolic order (here family life as symptomatic of the insu-
larity of social existence under capitalist conditions), opens up the possibility
of reconfiguring the symbolic order itself, improving its content. It is an
implicitly Christian dialectic of Subtraction and Sublimation, suggesting
that the only way out of our current dilemma depends on connecting with
what we should call with its proper name: the unconscious, insofar as the
unconscious is “a knowledge that does not know itself”, and as such can
only come about through the dispelling of the fantasy that sustains our sub-
jectivity. What collapses in the three narratives is the fantasy of the family as
microcosm, the real and metaphorical socio-symbolic narrative which gives
meaning to our lives. Once the main characters reach “ground zero” of
their subjectivity, they are forced to reconfigure their fictional framework,
moving in a direction which suggests (especially in The Man without a Past)
a different relationship with the big Other.
It would be easy to show how contemporary cinema has indeed grasped
the necessity of this dialectical sequence, expressing it in a variety of meta-
phorical and metonymical ways. The lesson coincides with the tragic yet
pressing awareness that the only chance we have to survive our predicament
is, as Žižek claims quoting Lenin, to “begin from the beginning again” (Žižek
2009c: 86). This, however, will only be possible if we find a way to relate to
entropic subjectivities which either exceed the logic of capital as their inert
remainders, or have learnt to disengage from it. More to the point, the dia-
lectical and political task ahead will need to be informed by an understand-
ing of theory not only as interpretation, but also as a daring and constructive
reorientation of the subject’s relation to a new social fantasy. Badiou states
that ‘truths are eternal because they have been created and not because they
have been there forever’ (Badiou 2009a: 512). If this view is, as I believe, to
be taken seriously, it is not merely because it indicates that we should be faith-
ful to already created truths, but because it implies that we should dare to fill
them with new meanings, to create them again. Though this, as Žižek argues,
may not be the philosopher’s task,2 it will probably have to become so.

The Enjoyment of Capitalism

 Chapter 1

The will to enjoyment

Slavoj Žižek’s dialectics can be said to begin with the insight that capitalism,
like all social orders, is stained by a self-generated excess which makes it
incomplete, inconsistent and therefore vulnerable. However, the epistemo-
logical novelty of the capitalist discourse is that, unlike previous formations,
it does not hide or disavow its constitutive excess; rather, it elevates it into
‘the very principle of social life, in the speculative movement of money
begetting more money’ (Žižek 2002a: 277). Particularly with global capital-
ism, we enter a “post-historical” era dominated by the ubiquitous injunction
to consume in excess (from ordinary material products to – increasingly –
lifestyles, fashions, cultural/spiritual/sexual experiences).1 What we con-
sume is irrelevant; it only matters that we continue to consume. The first
thing to notice about this overwhelming and yet subtle command is that it
leaves us as disorientated as the proverbial punch-drunk boxer: it disables
us from understanding our predicament itself. This is why today’s key exis-
tential feature is not that we cannot remember and make sense of our past,
but that ‘the present is experienced as a confused succession of fragments
which rapidly evaporate from our memory’ (Žižek 2002a: 277). The catch
is that the more capitalism coincides with its self-generated excess, the more
we are caught in its vortex. What could threaten the system’s consistency is
turned into its raison d’être, ultimately the very matrix of our social life.

An itch named jouissance

In Lacanian psychoanalysis, the excess we are dealing with corresponds to

the category of jouissance, which I have chosen to leave in its French original
to distinguish it from what I refer to as enjoyment, or pleasure. Jouissance
can be defined as a senseless libidinal surplus, experienced as a lack, which
is inerasable from the symbolic field, i.e. from any knowledge. As such, it
retains a substantial status: it is the elusive, ultimately unconscious substance
12 On Žižek’s Dialectics

secreted by the signifier (language) the moment it comes into play, and
henceforth it both drives and disturbs all human activity. Put differently,
jouissance bears witness to the fact that our existence is irredeemably tainted
by a disturbing excess of libido which materializes the inconsistency of any
knowledge we acquire and identify with. More to the point, its presence
signals that in us there is an unconscious knowledge that we are unable to
access.2 This unconscious knowledge dupes our consciousness, inasmuch as
a dupe, Lacan states, is someone exploited by someone else. Updating Marx-
ism, then, psychoanalysis tells us that ‘the exploiter is less easy to grasp’
(since it overpowers us by catching us “in the gut”, without our realizing it),
and so is ‘the style of revolution’ (Seminar XVI, 5 March 1969).
Lacan’s four discourses (master, hysteric, university and analyst), as pre-
sented in Seminar XVII, are as many attempts to locate the position and
function of the unconscious, and thus of jouissance, within our social lives as
speaking beings. For Lacan the basic problem for us humans, as opposed to
animals,3 is how to deal with jouissance, in other words how to manage the con-
stitutively unmanageable libidinal surplus produced the very moment we say ‘I’ – the
moment we enter the social link and become self-conscious beings. The
problem, therefore, coincides with our very nature as human beings: against
Darwin’s theory of adaptation, Lacan claims that what makes us human is
our basic, foundational disconnection from our environs, which is embodied
by that “sabotaging surplus” called jouissance – or, in Freudian terms, death-
drive. Furthermore, by uncoupling us from the immersion in our environs,
this surplus represents the only measure of our freedom, i.e. our autonomy from
the “flat surface of being” where consciousness does not yet exist. As visual
examples of this discrepancy between subject and environs, Žižek mentions
the blurred background in Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Alfred Hitch-
cock’s early films or Orson Welles’ extreme close-ups, claiming that ‘this
irreducible gap between the subject and its “background”, the fact that a
subject never fully fits its environs, is never fully embedded in it, defines sub-
jectivity’ (Žižek 2006b: 45). This fact – our coincidence with our surplus of
sense – lends Lacan’s theory both a tragic and ethical character: although
jouissance will always find a way to pop up, making our lives hellishly incon-
sistent with the meanings we ascribe to them, it is our ethical duty to “enjoy
our symptoms”. We must assume this alien kernel as our own, in the para-
doxical awareness that the surplus that inhabits us is the very core of what
we are, the only place where we truly become subjects.
As Žižek often stipulates, what is at stake in the endorsement of jouissance
over our immersion in the socio-symbolic order is the risky and onerous
chance to begin anew, the massive task of resignifying our symbolic space,

filling it with a different content. This is indeed the leitmotif of Žižek’s dia-
lectics. Complex questions of political change are tied to a move which can-
not be fully constrained in rational, strategic evaluations, as it is ultimately
authorised only by itself. There is no promise of fulfilment, or of dialectical
synthesis, in this choice, only the unverified possibility of a “better failure”,4
which will depend on our ability to reset and improve the social administra-
tion of our life. Here, at least two legitimate questions immediately emerge.
How is it possible to debunk capitalism via surplus if capital itself explicitly
endorses the latter as its key generative matrix? Furthermore, how are we
supposed to conceive of the relationship between Žižek’s theoretical wager
and a corresponding political practice, especially within the context of
global capitalist affirmation and the attendant political misery of the left?
The most fruitful way to address the first question (and, as we shall see,
eventually also the second) is by exploring Lacan’s overarching argument,
exposed primarily in Seminar XVI and XVII, that the ruse of capitalism, in its
infinite plasticity and resilience, lies in surreptitiously hijacking and con-
verting jouissance into value – into something which, as Marx described so
convincingly, is valorized and exchanged as commodity with the only aim of
generating more value (and not of satisfying real needs). Through this con-
version, Lacan argues, the system’s intrinsic limit, its “itch”, is transformed
into its main strength, literally its productive engine. The itch of valorized
enjoyment drives the capitalist machine forward, to the extent that – to con-
tinue with the metaphor – the more we scratch it, the more we help the
system to reproduce itself. With capitalism this itch becomes endemic and
irresistible, colonizing every aspect of our lives, and securing their overall
meaning. Indeed, today’s predicament is that we know we are alive only
because we feel the urge to scratch the itch of valorized enjoyment. This
operation does not merely entail going after commodities with ferocious
determination, but, more extensively, taking part in a universe where each
one of its meaningful experiences is characterized as representing a certain
exchange value. It is therefore a totalizing gesture.
Given this premise, I argue for the importance of retaining the Lacanian
focus on the historical shift in the function of jouissance caused by the advent
of capitalism. As anticipated, the novelty of capitalism as an economic and
socio-historical framework (interspersed with cyclical crises in turn linked
to social turmoil and wars which have very rarely had a drastic impact on
the framework itself) is that it is founded on an explicitly obscene and there-
fore shameless rhetoric. Capitalism does not hide its disturbing surplus but
rather puts it on display in order to profit from it – which is why Lacan calls
it the discourse of the perverted master. In focusing on the combination of
