Abstract
Slavoj Žižek's more recent work rarely references the Balkans as a space of resistant practices and possibilities. While highly critical of Western constructions of the Balkans, Žižek paradoxically evacuates the region of its peopled history. This article explores that evacuation as constitutive of, rather than tangential to, his thinking. Over against his best intentions, Žižek ends up reproducing the Western gaze and effectively “balkanizes” the Balkans.
