Produktbeschreibung
In this new book, Slavoj Zizek and Glyn Daly engage in a series of entertaining conversations which illustrate the originality of Zizek's thinking on psychoanalysis, philosophy, multiculturalism, popular/cyber culture, totalitarianism, ethics and politics. Zizek is a Slovenian philosopher who trained as a Lacanian. He is at the forefront of philosophical, political and cultural debate and is known for his theories, based largely on a Lacanian analysis, on a wide range of subjects, including globalization, cyberspace, film, music and opera. His work continues to provoke controversy and to transform the way we think about these and other issues of popular culture and politics. In conversation with Glyn Daly, Zizek elaborates on a range of topics which encompass the purpose of philosophy and psychoanalysis, the films of Stanley Kubrick, the notion of enjoyment, Marxism, de Sade, Nazism and much more. This book will provide readers with a unique glimpse at Zizeks humour and character, and is an ideal introduction to his work. At the same time it offers new material and fresh perspectives, which will be of interest to followers of his writings, appealing to the general reader as well as to undergraduates and graduates studying social theory, cultural studies and politics.

Rezensionen
"Slavoj Zizek has put the Soul back into philosophy."TLS

"Audacious and vertiginous, this book is everything one expectsfrom him, a heady mix of psychoanalysis, politics, theology,philosophy, and cultural studies that will leave the reader bothexhausted and exhilarated. For those wishing to gain a briefoverview of his central thesis or his application of Lacan tocultural studies, this is an informal and opportune text, anexcellent introduction to Zizek by Zizek."-Marcus Pound, Bristol University

"I am very impressed by how Zizek continues book afterbook to clarify, revise and deepen his thinking. This volume-idealfor the beginner, but with plenty to offer the practiced reader ofZizek as well- is a superb snapshot of where this mostrestless, iconoclastic and essential of contemporary theoristsstands at the moment." - Henry Staten, University ofWashington, Seattle.

"Glyn Daly succeeds here in punctuating the febrile forward rushof one of the most distinctive and influential voices of our time,making it curl a little more deliberately around questions manywould want to ask Zizek responds with wily candour,offering up original and substantive theoretical speculationalongside bits of professional biography and new glosses on hisfavorite cultural examples. As invigorating and substantial aconversation as any one is likely to come upon. - JoanCopjec, author of Imagine There's No Woman
