If we want to be true atheists, do we have to begin with a religious edifice and undermine it from within? Slavoj Zizek has long been a commentator on, and critic of, Christian theology. His preoccupation with Badiou's concept of 'the event' alongside the Pauline thought of the New Testament has led to a decidedly theological turn in his thinking. Drawing on traditions and subjects as broad as Buddhist thought, dialectical materialism, politi...

When we oppose or disagree with something important, do we ever really do it dispassionately? Isn't setting the world to rights or condemning a political opponent always done with a hint of relish, or at least enthusiasm? This book's challenging essays explore the modes in which that transgressive pleasure of political 'jouissance' operates. Rather than delegitimizing or depoliticising, the tacit enjoyment of outrage can in fact facilitate d...

Zizeks brillant und leidenschaftlich geschriebenes Buch stellt einen mitreißenden Durchgang durch die europäische Operngeschichte dar, deren Dreh- und Angelpunkt das Wagnersche Schaffen bildet. Durch ein hohes Maß an Assoziationen entführt Zizek den Leser in immer neue und unerwartete Gefilde: Er streift »Matrix« und die Marx Brothers, und ganz nebenbei gelingt es ihm noch höchst überzeugend, die Parallelen zwischen Wagners Musik und Hitchcock...

Wie kaum ein anderes Werk seiner Zeit veranschaulichen die wohl berühmtesten Filme David Lynchs, Lost Highway (1997) und Mulholland Drive (2001), wie die Geist-Welt Beziehung durch einen sexuellen Exzess immer wieder in Unordnung gebracht wird. Dieser markiert die unsterbliche Dimension einer teils biologischen, teils symbolischen Kraft, die auch in Zizeks Werk thematisiert und dort philosophisch ergründet wird. Der vorliegende Band präsentier...

We are all afraid that new dangers pose a threat to our hard-won freedoms, so what deserves attention is precisely the notion of freedom." The concept of freedom is deceptively simple - we think we understand it, but the moment we try and define it we encounter contradictions. In this new philosophical exploration, Slavoj Zizek argues that the experience of true, radical freedom is transient and fragile. Countering the idea of libertarian indi...

In a characteristically explosive barrage, Ljubljana’s most famous philosopher takes a passionate stance on the war in Ukraine, surveys the latest Hollywood blockbusters, and delivers detonations into a range of contemporary issues, from sexual politics in India to the prospects for a new Cold War. Ever attentive to moments where the bizarre and the epic join forces, among the questions Žižek considers here are: Is the giant orgy, planned to t...

Contemporary life is defined by excess. There must always be more, there is never enough. We need a surplus to what we need to be able to truly enjoy what we have. Slavoj Zizek's guide to surplus (and why it's enjoyable) begins by arguing that what is surplus to our needs is by its very nature unsubstantial and unnecessary. But, perversely, without this surplus, we wouldn't be able to enjoy, what is substantial and necessary. Indeed, without t...

Slavoj Zizek, yeryüzünde yasamin sona erme ihtimali anlaminda kiyametin yakin oldugu, son demlerini yasadigimiz bir zamanin ruhunu anlatmaya calisiyor Ahir Zamanlarda Yasarkende. Ne bir Altin Cagdan uzaklasma, yozlasma hikayesi anlatip eski degerlere sikica tutunma cagrisinda bulunuyor, ne de karanligin ardindan aydinlik günlerin gelecegine dair saf bir iyimserlik sergiliyor. Icinde yasadigimiz zamana özgü esasli meseleleri, yani mahserin dört...

Pithy, urgent, gutting and witty, Äi×ek's diagnosis reveals our current geopolitical nightmare in a startling new light, and shows how, in order to change our future, we must first focus on changing the past.

»Kaum ein anderer Denker veranschaulicht die Widersprüche des heutigen Kapitalismus besser als Slavoj Zizek.« New York Review of Books Das heutige Leben ist vom Überfluss geprägt. Es muss immer mehr sein, nie ist es genug. Lacan hat jedoch gezeigt, dass wir immer einen Überschuss an dem benötigen, was wir brauchen: Sonst können wir das, was wir haben, nicht genießen. Mit dieser Gedankenfigur, die Zizek mit Marx' »Mehrwert« und Freuds »Lustg...
