• Borromean Knots, OOO, and Social and Political Theory

  
  Larval Subjects . — Authority: 538

  (Mis)readings — Authority: 115
  [A] subject who writes love-letters actually does not address the beloved but writes letters to none other than himself.

  GypsyBandito - CT Moore — Authority: 109
  A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of watching a talk by Slavoj Žižek . He’s kind of like the Werner Herzog of continental philosophy (a Laconian to be exact) and also happens to be a professor at the Institute for Sociology, Ljubljana, and at the European Graduate School.
