This research was based on two primary factors that mobilized the work transfer: a glimpse into the contemporary and clinical cases. The methodological structure of this work, supported by the psychoanalytic method, aimed at instrumentalizing the transference of the researcher towards his object of study. At first, the dissertation path led to concerns regarding the increase in the number of suicides in Brazil, in which it sought to investigate the current situation and the marks that capital imposes on subjectivities. Correspondingly, suicide was taken as a response to the tyranny of the neoliberal Other. Furthermore, the urgency of neoliberalism and the capitalist discourse supported a clinical hypothesis that dealt with the conduct of the desire of subjectified subjects according to the minimization of losses and maximization of gains. Authors from the social sciences and philosophy were used, meanwhile and mainly, Bauman, Debord, Jameson, Byung-Chul Han, Dardot and Laval. I tried to ground the notion of the big Other in the contemporary through authors such as Lebrun, Melman, Quintela and Dufour. In this dynamic of structuring the concept of the Other in the contemporary world, the notion of the great joking Other was used, based on the capitalist discourse, therefore, an Other that denies failure and makes it operate with maximum positivity. In order to structure the notion of desire, we turned to Freud and to the continuity of the psychoanalytic theorization of desire through Lacan, following the negative radicality of desire. Faced with the problem of desire in the contemporary world, the work of Maria Rita Kehl helped to complement the discussion around the depressive's desire and its condition of retreat or resignation. In addition, this research was supported by two clinical cases treated at the Psychology Clinic at UFU. Post-treatment notes were used, as well as reports regarding the difficulties of the cases and the anxieties triggered during the consultations. When coming into contact with the clinical cases, the course of the transference highlighted a hypothesis that could address the death of desire or the desire for death as the establishment of the lack in the mechanism of competition, consumption and performance in the structuring of the neoliberal subject. Through a portion of anguish that bordered on unbearable, experienced in the transference field, the formulation of a theoretical-clinical concept was operated: the desire in vertigo, characterized by the flickering of the desiring entanglement. In this way, it was demonstrated that, although desire makes itself perceived, even if the desiring entanglement is recognized there, it presents itself at great expense, under the imperative requirement of being able to lose nothing.
