Abstract

This article proposes to advance on some ideas raised by the film, Brexit: The Uncivil War (Haynes, 2019), which collects the facts of the recent history of the 2016 referendum that marked the divorce of Great Britain with the European Union, proposing a reading from three aspects: the formula for an uncivil war, the film’s subtitle, the slogan used for take control and the algorithms as a prediction apparatus for jouissance. From this, the question from psychoanalysis for the impossible to calculate, for the contingent data that human experience carries with it. How to sustain a bond that recognizes the singular in the collective, the principle of authorship, authorization in saying, in desire, in choice.

Keywords: Uncivil war | algorithms | control | history | psychoanalysis
