Résumé : |
Lacan first pointed out that money is a representative for the Symbolic in itself. Indeed, the function of money, like language, is to "denote" all sorts of objects. As far as this function of pure signifier is concerned, some of the stakes and mutations involving money as currencies (arrival of Euro, proliferation of forged currencies, etc.) are likely to distort Man's relation to the Symbolic. They challenge and threaten our social and cultural system, much more than stock-market crises or other financial disorders can ever do. These may alter this function of signifier, but cannot destroy it from the inside. This contribution is intended to analyse monetary evolutions from this lacanian point of view. |
