Slavoj Zizek: Live Theory Paperback / softback
by Dr Rex (Monash University, Australia) Butler
Part of the Live Theory series
Paperback / softback
Description
Slavoj Zizek is undoubtedly one of the worlds 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 Zizek have anything to say in his own right?
Is there a system of thought that we can properly call Zizekian?
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 Zizek himself, Slavoj Zizek: Live Theory presents a snapshot of the Zizek system ideal for undergraduates in social and cultural theory and philosophy.
