The current research investigates the absence of the event and its relationship with the defense against the lawless real. We start from a problem evidenced in the clinic experience, which reverberates in the political sphere, about certain situations that, although demonstrating transformative power of a given reality, that is, demonstrate the possibility of registering an event, end up resulting in its opposite effect. It is a theoretical research in psychoanalysis, which establishes a dialogue with the field of philosophy and politics. Considering that when there is no event, there is no possibility of the emergence of the real, because this happens as an effect of an event, we propose to investigate possible mechanisms that prevent the emergence of the real. We approach the transition from the passion for real, experienced in the 20th century to the death of that passion, which is outlined in the nihilistic way in which life has come to be viewed. This configuration is expressed in the way neoliberal reason is configured, marked by the imperative of the One and by defense devices against everything that is of the order of the undetermined, and, therefore, of the real. Thus, from Pascal to Lacan, we discuss the position of resistance that man assumes in the face of the indeterminacy that constitutes him, creating different strategies that prevent the realization of an event. In order to understand the concept of event, we conducted an investigation based on the theory of Alain Badiou, addressing the character of indeterminacy proper to the event and the production of processes of truth, subject and novelty that result from it. We identified that the absence of the event is not limited to neoliberal rationality, nor to the effects that the passion for the real had. We discussed this through the analysis of the current situation that Marx makes of Louis Bonaparte’s empire and the restoration of the monarchy in the midst of French proletarian insurgency. Marx’s analysis allowed us to think that the elements favorable to the monarchy, the failure of the proletarian revolution, and, therefore, the absence of events, are not limited to na imposition of power. At this point, we turn to Freud, in order to consider that collective and individual unconscious libidinal processes favor adherence to totalitarian regimes and, thus, prevent the production of the event and the real that may emerge from it.
