Challenging the widely-held assumption that Slavoj ¿i¿ek's work is far more germane to film and cultural studies than to literary studies, this volume demonstrates the importance of ¿i¿ek to literary criticism and theory.

Challenging the widely-held assumption that Slavoj ¿i¿ek's work is far more germane to film and cultural studies than to literary studies, this volume demonstrates the importance of ¿i¿ek to literary criticism and theory. The contributors show how ¿i¿ek's practice of reading theory and literature through one another allows him to critique, complicate, and advance the understanding of Lacanian psychoanalysis and German Idealism, thereby urging a rethinking of historicity and universality. His methodology has implications for analyzing literature across historical periods, nationalities, and genres and can enrich theoretical frameworks ranging from aesthetics, semiotics, and psychoanalysis to feminism, historicism, postcolonialism, and ecocriticism. The contributors also offer ¿i¿ekian interpretations of a wide variety of texts, including Geoffrey Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, Samuel Beckett's Not I, and William Burroughs's Nova Trilogy. The collection includes an essay by ¿i¿ek on subjectivity in Shakespeare and Beckett. Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Literature but Were Afraid to Ask ¿i¿ek affirms ¿i¿ek's value to literary studies while offering a rigorous model of ¿i¿ekian criticism. Contributors. Shawn Alfrey, Daniel Beaumont, Geoff Boucher, Andrew Hageman, Jamil Khader, Anna Kornbluh, Todd McGowan, Paul Megna, Russell Sbriglia, Louis-Paul Willis, Slavoj ¿i¿ek
