RESUMO

Nowadays, a new conception of man has been promoted by the scientifictechnological discourse, bringing different ways to people establish their relationships with themselves and with the others. Thus, were having the chance to observe the development of new ways to experience happiness, pleasure and suffering. That is, new ways of living. Therefore, it was this man and his vicissitudes that mobilized us to do this research. In order to argue the focused problem, we took psychoanalysis as our reference theory in view its narrow entailing between subject and culture. From there, we chose the following questionings as the guidelines of this work: considering the culture while a field of interdictions, how can we think the contemporary man in his capacity to undo limits or, simply, to deny its existence? And, from the previous question, how the happiness is experienced currently, in view the various possibilities of satisfaction offered to us? The passage we used to argue such questions was: initially, we detach the freudian conception of man through the restrictions he needs to be submitted, in view of his cultured constitution; after that, we comment how the biological knowledge, one of the biggest representative of the current scientific discourse, has been inserted in the social scope, reproducing the assertive that limits can, and must, be exceeded through the various possibilities of body manipulation; later, we made the characterization of the contemporary man through his search for permanent satisfactions, having the body as his preferential target of pleasures, leading him on ways that assure a position of excess; finally, having determined the happiness in Freud as something related to the proper choices of the subject in his relation with the world, we establish the differentiated ways followed by the contemporary man in his high expectations in respect of the happy being. Key Words: Scientific-technological discourse, psychoanalysis, happiness, moderation and excess.
