Abstract

In the present work an aspect of patriarchy is developed in relation to the sacrifice of the father, and the effects that can be read in the symptom and in the phantom. The work is supported by biblical accounts that describe the offerings of Christ and Isaac that reveal the joy of God, in the act of sacrifice, as one of the forms that truth can take. At present, contemporary neoliberalism adopts this sacrificial figure in the figure of the dark gods in which the enjoyment of hatred deepens, who wishes that the hated object does not exist. Therefore, the offering to these gods implies a voluntary servitude, which translates into the push to sacrifice; In this sense, instead of referring to a fall of the patriarchy, we are facing one of its forms of cruelty.
