Description

Slavoj Žižek is undoubtedly one of the world's leading cultural critics.

His witty, psychoanalytically-inspired analyses of contemporary society have almost single-handedly revived the notion of ideology.

His brilliant commentaries on the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan and the 19th century German Idealists have brought alive their often difficult ideas for a new generation of readers.

But does Žižek have anything to say in his own right?

Is there a system of thought that we can properly call " Žižekian"?

This book argues that there is, through a reading of two terms in his work-the master-signifier and the act.

Featuring an interview with Žižek himself, Slavoj Žižek: Live Theory presents a snapshot of the Žižek system ideal for undergraduates in social and cultural theory and philosophy.
