The device of enjoyment in the society of control

From the propositions of Foucault on a change of devices in modernity, leaving a "alliance device" to a "sexual device", and also taking into account the considerations of Deleuze on the contemporary "society of control," the author presents a psychoanalytic reading of these changes in the processes of modern and contemporary subjectivation, proposing the regency of a new device today, which he called "enjoyment device." He argues in favor of his readings the capitalization of the plus de goce suggested by Lacan, and the imperatives of enjoyment of our own times.
