• I consume authentically, therefore I am

  
  Confessing Evangelical — Authority: 109
  Another area in which Slavoj Žižek (see previous post ) is interesting is his analysis of the “post-’68 spirit of capitalism”: the way in which the anti-capitalist protests of the 1960s have been assimilated and usurped by modern consumer capitalism, in particular in the change from a managerial and ...

• Shadows & Reflections – Ben Myers

  
  Caught by the River — Authority: 428
  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 ...

• Žižek as Ur-Bloggist: Perfecting the Associative Theoretical Multimedium

  
  Frames /sing — Authority: 421
  The First Bloggist, Žižek as Father Adam Kotsko has a wonderful line about Žižek, that his writing can only be understand as a theoretical-asethetic pre-posit of the Blog: I think that Zizek has something about how Flaubert can only be understood retrospectively, because he was trying to do film by ...

• Superheroes and social relations: why “the real me” is a fake

  
  Confessing Evangelical — Authority: 109
  I was having a discussion on Twitter with someone about how fed up I am with every superhero now having to be a whiny, introspective emo who is terribly tortured and conflicted about his powers. This being prompted by reports of plans to “reboot” Superman, with a film which will apparently focus on “Clark’s ...

• Zizek and Heidegger

  
  An und fr sich — Authority: 551
  I’ve long felt that Zizek’s relationship to Heidegger was under-explored — in fact, it seems to me that such a claim is a good token gesture for anyone to make while discussing Zizek (somewhat parallel to claiming you like “the Schelling book” the best). It appears that it is now officially explored , in ...

• Zizek on Populism, and a Little Theology

  
  Sub Specie Aeterni — Authority: 112
  Zizek makes a great point in his new book when discussing the false binary in contemporary politics between permissive liberalism and fascistic populism: those who have oft-suggested an alliance of revolutionary politics in the West with more-or-less populist uprisings in the Middle East and Third World have ...

Basically, the dream begins with my girlfriend and I having and intense conversation in which I am confusingly dealing with her admission that she is still dating her long-time lover, Zizek. Apparently ...

• Daily Zizek: on the sacredness of questioning

  
  metalepsis — Authority: 91
  “What is perceived here as the problem is precisely the Christian universalism: what this all-inclusive attitude (recall St. Paul’s famous “There are no men or women, no Jews and Greeks”) involves is a thorough exclusion of those who do not accept inclusion into the Christian community. In other ...

• Zizek: a bit of transgression

  
  I cite — Authority: 422
  What we should always bear in mind is that there is nothing »spontaneous« in such transgressive outbursts. A close look demonstrates that we truly enjoy smoking and drinking only in public, as part of a public “carnival,” the sacred suspension of ordinary rules. The same goes even for swearing and sex: none of ...

• The Uneasiness in Nature

  
  Naught Thought — Authority: 404
  Zizek’s Unbehagen In Der Nature addresses current discussions surrounding ecology and nature. Right off the bat however Zizek’s conceptualization of nature is limited – seeming to be nature as it appears to us, nature as we can manipulate it. The anxieity or uneasiness that Zizek discusses seems more to be ...

• Žižek Impression

  
  An und fr sich — Authority: 551
  Today I visited the Post Office to send some letters to discover they had implemented a new system. At the door you took a number and then when your number was called out you went to the window to post your letter, or whatever you needed to do. But this is precisely the same as it is before with the queuing in lines ...

  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.

• Very Insightful, Zizek

  
  Jewbonics — Authority: 125
  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 ...
