In this contribution, I study the post–World War II discovery of a new “supramaximal” “super-pleasure” in the brain. I argue that the excessiveness of the newly discovered supramaximal super-pleasure challenged existing models of organisms, of the self, and of nature and society, and that it prescribed a rethinking and a repositioning of pleasure. I reconstruct the laboratory enactments and models that constituted this new pleasure as “supramaximal,” instant, and insatiable, suggest several postwar contexts that situate the new pleasure, and examine expert and vernacular reactions to the new super-pleasure. I also introduce and reflect on an approach that “sides with” emotion, and I present the notion of a “missed” emotion. I conclude with a brief consideration of “repetitions”—for science and for pleasure.

冷战的“超级乐趣”：永不满足，自我刺激和战后大脑。

在这项贡献中，我研究了第二次世界大战后大脑中新的“超最大”“超级愉悦”发现。我认为，新发现的超最大超乐趣的过度性挑战了有机体，自我，自然与社会的现有模型，并规定了对快乐的重新思考和重新定位。我将构成这种新乐趣的实验室法则和模型重构为“超最大”，即时且永不满足，提出了若干战后情景来提出新乐趣，并研究了专家和白话对新超级乐趣的反应。我还介绍并反思了一种“与情感并存的方法”，并提出了“缺失”情感的概念。最后，我简要地考虑了“重复” —为了科学和娱乐。
