风险偏好与金融危机——来自拉康派精神分析的视角

Risk Preference and Financial Crisis——from the Perspective of Lacanian Psychoanalysis

当今资本主义的发展已经呈现出高度的金融化,同时经济危机也多表现为金融危机的形式。本文以拉康派精神分析的视角,对主流经济学关于风险的论断进行了批评,分析了主体的关于风险的判断与偏好无意识机制,以及金融危机形成的无意识机制。以精神分析看来,不存在客观的风险,这只是经济学的一种预设。金融危机的根源在于主体的欲望的不可满足性,与追求原乐的意志。对象a的诱惑最终导致的是悲剧性的瓦解。金融危机中歇斯底里的主体不仅加速了恐慌的蔓延,还不可能完成对他者的修复。

Nowadays,the development of capitalism has shown a high degree offinancialization.At the same time,the economic crisis is mostly in the form offinancial crisis.From the perspective of Lacanian psychoanalysis,this paper criticizes the judgment of mainstream economics on risk,analyzes the unconscious mechanism of the subject’s judgment and preference on risk,and the unconscious mechanism constituted by financial crisis.From the perspective of psychoanalysis,there is no objective risk,which is only a presupposition of economics.The root cause of the financial crisis lies in the un-satisfiability of the subject’s desire and the will to pursue jouissance.The temptation of the object petit"a"eventually leads to the tragic disintegration.In the financial crisis,the hysterical subject not only accelerated the spread of panic,but also could not complete the repair of the big Other.
