	Slavoj Zizek - Slavoj Žižek - Professor of Philosophy and Psychoanalysis - Biography
		Slavoj Zizek is a professor of philosophy and psychoanalysis at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, where he conducts an Intensive Summer Seminar.
		Slavoj Zizek is a professor at the Institute for Sociology, Ljubljana and at the European Graduate School EGS who uses popular culture to explain the theory of Jacques Lacan and the theory of Jacques Lacan to explain politics and popular culture.
		Zizek's agenda is to foster and engender a withering critique of the structural chains that enslave late-modern man. His nostalgia is for very large gestures: the meta-Real, the Universal, and the Formal.

	Slavoj Zizek and F.W.J. von Schelling: The Abyss of Freedom/Ages of the World, University of Michigan Press
		In noted philosopher Slavoj Zizek's view, the main orientations of the post-Hegelian thought, from Kierkegaard and Marx, to Heidegger and today's deconstructionism, were prefigured in Schelling's analysis of Hegel's idealism, and in his affirmation that the contingency of existence cannot be reduced to notional self-mediation.
		Zizek argues that Schelling's most profound thoughts are found in the series of three consecutive attempts he made to formulate the "ages of the world/Weltalter," the stages of the self-development of the Absolute.
		Slavoj Zizek is not a philosopher who stoops to conquer objects but a radical voice who believes that philosophy is nothing if it is not embodied, nothing if it is only abstract.

	Iowa Journal of Cultural Studies: When an Exception is just an Exception: Slavoj Zizek's The Fright of Real Tears: ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Among the primary virtues of Slavoj Zizek's indefatigable, somewhat compulsive efforts to explicate the strange topographies of Lacanian psychoanalytic theory and contemporary cultural politics are his ready wit and his facility in drawing upon his familiarity with diverse topics, from the finest points of Kantian and Hegelian metaphysics to slapstick teenage comedies.
		Zizek does not mention that the footage for one of Kieslowski's documentaries was taken by the police, indirectly implicating him in the solution of a murder case.
		When Zizek turns the director's death into the fulfillment of a wish in Freudian terms, a statement or at the very least the contingent outcome of the choices that he made, it is hard to tell if he understands that he is dealing with fact, not fiction.

	[No title]
		Zizek's most recent book, The Plague of Fantasies, takes its title from a line in Petrarch, and refers, as Zizek puts it, to "images which blur one's clear reasoning"; this plague, he says, "is brought to its extreme in today's audiovisual media" (1).
		Zizek suggests that this has eliminated for the capitalist West its only competing, full-scale politico-economic model of modernization, leaving it instead with a number of less monolithic adversaries it can characterize as atavistically "premodern"--the multiple fundamentalisms, nationalisms, "tribalisms," and their metonymically associated "terrorist" groups and movements--and thus demonize as wholly external forces of irrationality.
		For Zizek, cyberspace "radicalizes the gap" that is constitutive of subjectivity, externally materializing in the VR universe the subject's ego, which in the Lacanian formulation functions for the subject as an intrapsychic alterity, the ego existing as the "self" from which the subject is internally split.

	Doug Henwood Interviews Slavoj Zizek
		If a character like Slavoj Zizek showed up in a draft version of one of David Lodge's broad satires on academic life, the editor would probably tell him to eliminate it because it was overdrawn.
		It combines the usual Zizek preoccupations over the dangers of multiculturalism and the undiscovered joys of Lenin, who is to Zizek as some remote and exotic island resort is to a contributor to Travel Magazine.
		For Zizek, "the tragedy of anarchism is that you end up having an authoritarian secret society trying to achieve anarchist goals." After reading this, I nearly resolved to change my name to Louis Zero and listen to Rage Against the Machine 12 hours a day.

	Slavoj Zizek [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Slavoj Zizek was born in 1949 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
		Zizek cites the example of priests reciting mass in Latin before an uncomprehending laity, who believe that the priests know the meaning of the words, and for whom this is sufficient to keep the faith.
		Zizek’s entire theoretical work directs us towards this “traversing of the fantasy”, in the many different fields on which he has written, and despite the widespread consensus at the beginning of the new century that fundamental political change is no longer possible or desirable.

	Slavoj Zizek-Bibliography/The Marx Brother/Lacan Dot Com
		Zizek's aim, in his work, is to combine a Marxist critique of capitalism with a psychoanalytically informed unmasking of the ways in which capitalism works upon the public imagination.
		Zizek also went into psychoanalysis with Miller, after a traumatic love affair (The woman in question was the wife of a former colleague; to prove his devotion to her, he embedded romantic acrostics in the books he was publishing at the time.) Zizek considers his therapy unfinished.
		Zizek is of the opinion that citizens of some former socialist countries never had it so good as in the last years of socialism, since, besides having state-subsidized food, housing, wages, and culture, they also had the pleasure of being able to complain about the government.

	Christopher Craig Brittain, Slavoj Zizek (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Zizek admits that an “obvious reproach” that may be directed towards Breaking the Waves is that it is the “utmost male chauvinist film celebrating and elevating” the sacrificial role of women in society.
		For Zizek, this dynamic demonstrates that the basis of ideological mis-representation is the subjective belief that one’s innermost self is not merely the result of external mechanisms and representations.
		Zizek’s distance from such a concern is especially evident in the way he resolves the central tensions of the film.

	<nettime> Interview with Slavoj Zizek (published in Haaretz)
		Zizek's prose style has a rebellious and highly compelling side that brushes up against the most critical intellectual trends of our day like cultural studies, contemporary feminism, post-colonialism, and post-modernism.
		Celluloid reality Zizek's point is not to isolate a dimension of fantasy in reality - on the contrary, Zizek poses the question of where reality is to be found in a universe of film and fiction.
		Zizek refers to films as though they were reality, or at least vehicles for the secret essence of reality.

	Gavin Keeney: Zizek and Lenin
		Zizek, as this giant (or giant brain), has cast a very long shadow indeed in what can only be termed "cultural studies" (though he would despise the characterization).
		Zizek is quick to point out (often) that post-modernists have multiple versions of everything -- e.g., multiple versions of Nietzsche and multiple versions of Marx or Freud -- but he also is the master of re-branding a concept, or a historical figure, to elucidate what might be best termed "synchronic or structural phenomena".
		The version of Lenin that Zizek is re-enscribing into radical political discourse is ostensibly (by his own admission) the Lenin of the October Revolution, or the Lenin that had the epiphany that in order to have a revolution "you have to have a revolution".

	BookkooB: Welcome to the Desert of the Real - Slavoj Zizek
		Zizek portrays the attacks as an inadvertent wake-up call for the west to recognise that the world in which we live is awash with atrocities and that we don't live in an isolated sphere, innocent and separated from this world.
		Firstly, for all his criticisms, Zizek does not really have much to offer as an alternative to the present world order; he oscillates frustratingly between nihilism and reformism without ever making many serious suggestions about what we should do once we "wake up".
		Slavoj Zizek is fantastic at using an impossibly complex Lacanian discourse to yield sparky and portable insights.

		Zizek explains this shift by way of rethinking the notion of national identification from a psychoanalytic perspective, more precisely a Lacanian standpoint.
		Zizek emphasizes that, "the more the logic of Capital becomes universal, the more its opposite will assume features of 'irrational fundamentalism'" (220).
		Like Zizek, Salecl emphasizes the fantasy structure of the nation and of national identification pointing to their imaginary surplus that refuses symbolization.

		Sorry, but that sounds nothing like Zizek (which, incidentally, is written with a little hat - I can't remember the technical term right now, dammit - over both zs, as it is pronounced Zhizhek).
