• Dream differently

  
  I cite — Authority: 470
  Ive been in California. A student challenged me on one of my typical appropriations of Zizek, this time the one that says something to the effect that we have to reinvent our modes of dreaming. Leaving aside the unfortunate evocation of Clinton era politics (reinventing government)--which could be mine, but Im too ...

• Monstrous Futurity

  
  Naught Thought — Authority: 404
  Drugs in Milk makes a few notes on my Lady Gaga post which points out LG’s articulation of the monstrousness of fame-as-drive. The strange repetitious motion of the drive (the pleasure of the mouth moving and not the food within it, not the object within it following Zupancic) describes the function of fame ...

• Real footage

  
  I cite — Authority: 470
  Zizek argues that the little piece of the real that supports our fragile symbolic reality must appear to be found rather than produced. Yes, any old object can serve. But we have to think that its fascinating power comes from it rather than from its place in the structure. Is not this part of the appeal of found ...

• An Executive Summary of the Recent Žižek Interview

  
  An und fr sich — Authority: 427
  So on the one hand, all these so-called radicals who don’t do anything, or want all their real revolutions elsewhere suck, but on the other hand so do the people who protested the Iraq War cause they “knew” it wouldn’t make a difference just like people who say “if you’re here you’re from here”, but at ...

• Reversals

  
  Working notes — Authority: 493
  Always historicize? What could have less to do with historicizing than the commanding, atemporal adverb "always"? It reminds me of the bumper stickers that instruct people in other cars to "Question Authority." Excellent advice, perhaps wasted on anyone who does whatever theyre ordered to do by a strip of paper glued ...

• KING COYA-Cumbias de Villadonde (Nacional Records, 2009)

  
  THE HARD DATA — Authority: 113
  King Coya is one of the few Zizek Collective members that I havent met personally, so I dont know too much about him. I do know that King Coya is the alter-ego of Gaby Kerpel, who way before the whole neo-cumbia thing was already an accomplished musician in Buenos Aires underground. Unlike most other neo-cumbia ...

• For the Love of Žižek: a Fan’s Confession

  
  (Mis)readings — Authority: 110
  We believe that feelings are immutable, but every sentiment, particularly the noblest and most disinterested, has a history. Michel Foucault , ‘Nietzsche, Genealogy, History’ I was not always a keen reader of theory, that anamorphic genre that blends literary, sociological, philosophical, political, and other ...

• Zizek on democracy

  
  MetaBlog — Authority: 120
  That’s ideology today. We don’t believe in democracy—nobody. You make fun of it and so on, but somehow we act as if it works. It’s a very strange situation, because there are—some of us old enough still remember them, old days when the public face of power was dignity, belief. And privately you mocked it, ...

  CAUTE — Authority: 110
  While [Jesus] was in one of the cities, there came a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and besought him, Lord, if you will, you can make me clean. And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be clean. And immediately the leprosy left him. And he charged him to tell no ...

• Quick leftist note

  
  Abiding in Bolivia — Authority: 493
  As you already know, this blog is written by a leftist and I just want to complain about unserious "leftists" of which Slavoj Zizek is a good example. Coming from someone who has been living down here for a while, any leftist who sees "no hope" in the contemporary leftist politics of South America, as Zizek stated ...

• … is Slavoj Zizek?

  
  What in the hell ... — Authority: 123
  This post is an object lesson in how a) not to tell a joke, b) to come off as quite closed minded and sectarian and as something of a jerk, and c) to appear both awkward and pretentious all at once. I consider it thus a triple word score in the Scrabble game of life, and I hope a useful tool for anyone seeking to ...

• Slavoj Zizek - Lacan: at What Point is He Hegelian?

  
  I cite — Authority: 470
  The answer has been here all along. Zizek writes: One is thus able to conceive of Ungeschehenmachen, the highest manifestation of negativity, as the Hegelian version of death drive: it is not an accidental or marginal element in the Hegelian edifice, but rather designates the crucial moment of the dialectical process, ...
