Resumen
Vivimos en un mundo caracterizado por una variedad de situaciones extremas que, en su absoluta heterogeneidad, expresan, sin embargo, una misma lógica globalmente eficaz. Elegimos tres casos que, según sugerimos, conversan entre sí: los infortunios de la pequeña comunidad norteamericana de Grafton, narrados por el periodista M. Hongoltz-Hetling; las grandes fortunas acopiadas por las cripto-estafas, que están de moda en la Argentina actual; la existencia de prácticas caníbales en el contexto de la expansión de la violencia narco en México, estudiadas por el antropólogo Claudio Lomnitz. Los temas de la coyuntura nos permiten volver a leer Tótem y Tabú, de Freud, para intentar iluminar oblicuamente las líneas de fuerza de este mundo hecho de muchos mundos, que es el neoliberalismo fascistizado.
We live in a world characterised by a variety of extreme situations which, in their absolute heterogeneity, express the same globally effective logic. Here I choose to refer to three current cases which, as I suggest, ‘talk to each other’: the misfortunes of the small North American community of Grafton, narrated by the journalist M. Hongoltz-Hetling; the great fortunes amassed by cryptocurrency scams, which are in fashion in Argentina these days; the existence of cannibalistic practices in the context of the expansion of narco-violence in Mexico, studied by the anthropologist C. Lomnitz. These themes of the conjuncture allow us to return to Freud's ‘Totem and Taboo’ in an attempt to obliquely illuminate the lines of force of this world –made of many worlds– which is fascistised neo-liberalism.
