• Shadows & Reflections – Ben Myers

  
  Caught by the River — Authority: 133
  In which, as the year comes to its end, our friends and collaborators look back and share their moments; 365 days of rain and mud and fires and writing and walking and squinting at a horizon we’ve spent out whole lives pursuing. And finally we got there. 2009 was the year that I did all those things you talk ...

• More Zizek

  
  Perverse Egalitarianism — Authority: 471
  Looks like it’s Zizek all the way these days: Apocalyptic Times . There’s a variety of reactions to Zizek’s appearance on HardTalk. Some are interesting, some are silly. I was particularly disappointed by comments like this: It is sometimes too easy for us to think that Zizek was misunderstood or stitched ...

• Very Insightful, Zizek

  
  Jewbonics — Authority: 126
  So Zizek is warning the Left [thus, an empty room] that we must not be "co-opted" by the challenge of climate change, and that we must attack it as a specific symptom of the capitalist system within which we live. Treat the symptom, and treat the disease, too. He goes on and makes a number of points, some of which ...

• Zizek, Hayek – and Cowell

  
  Matthew Taylor's blog — Authority: 509
  ‘ Zizek is untwitterable’ was a pithy tweet on last night’s RSA lecture by one of the world’s foremost philosophers. The great man’s lecture was dense, edgy and erudite. Like a good wine its after taste is more affecting than the first impression. One passage came back to me last night running home (for ...

• Zizek on Hardtalk

  
  Perverse Egalitarianism — Authority: 471
  It’s here for 7 days, but you have to be in a certain area to watch it online. I’m sure there’s a YouTube video somewhere out there. Whoever the guy interviewing Zizek is kind of annoyingly interruptive, but Zizek needs that sort of person, otherwise he will talk forever. I mean the interviewer’s obvious ...

• A Brief Reply to a Long Comment On Žižek

  
  (Mis)readings — Authority: 107
  This is a reply to comment by Mr. Alex Reynolds in a previous blog entry explaining my position as a fan of the Slovenian cultural theorist Slavoj Žižek. The introduction to the said blog entry was, of course, something of a joke, a play on the postmodernist commonplace of how no narrative can be privileged to ...

• Slavoj Žižek on “The Death of God” – AAR Annual Meeting 2009

  
  GypsyBandito - CT Moore — Authority: 114
  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. Zizek gave his talk at the 2009 ...

• Good Introduction to Zizek

  
  God in a Shrinking Universe — Authority: 92
  I just want to recommend a good short Introduction to Slavoj Zizeks thinking about Christianity: Frederiek Depoorteres book Christ in Postmodern Philosophy which treats Gianni Vattimo, René Girard and Zizek. I have only read to part on Zizek but it was extremely helpful, giving a good simple introduction to Lacan ...

  Perverse Egalitarianism — Authority: 471
  Slavoj Žižek on the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall : It is commonplace, 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, to hear the events of that time described as miraculous, a dream come true, something one couldn’t have imagined even a couple of months beforehand. Free elections in Poland ...

  Last year Bill Maher, renowned atheist and comedian released a documentary entitled Religulous . Its premise is simple: if you believe in God enough to order your behavior around your beliefs, then you are ridiculous. Perhaps you are even quite mad. This of course is why we want individuals like the Fort ...

  Confessing Evangelical — Authority: 111
  A post I almost put here rather than on my politics blog , as it relates to broader political/cultural issues rather than just UK party politics: the “eminent thinker”/”Marxist holy fool”/”dancing bear” (delete as applicable) Slavoj Žižek on how ideologies only win when they lose . I’ll be interested ...

  this side of sunday — Authority: 115
  Out of nowhere on Friday another Slavoj Zizek book jumped off the shelf at me and stole a good hour from my day. He fascinates me, and its not just because he quotes Chesterton all the time. Ive written about him before , but what got me this time was a book he co-authored with two others, called The Neighbor . ...

• How Did The New York Times Celebrate The Fall Of The Berlin Wall?

  
  The New Ledger Chequer-Board — Authority: 143
  Poorly . I would like to say that I don’t know what the Times editors were thinking, but it is in fact quite obvious what they were thinking, no? Don Boudreaux’s letter was not nearly strong enough in condemning this editorial choice.
