Abstract

In a stream of writings and talks since 1989, the Slovenian social theorist Slavoj Žižek has blended Lacanian psychoanalysis and Hegelian philosophy with film criticism, cultural studies, and authoritarian Marxism to earn a reputation as "one of the most dazzling figures on the intellectual left," in the words of social theorist Alex Callinicos. There are Žižek T-Shirts, Žižek YouTube pages, an International Journal of Žižek Studies , Žižek CDs and DVDs, even Žižek! , the movie. "He has travelled the globe like an intellectual rock star for the past twenty years, gathering as he goes an immense fan club," says literary critic Terry Eagleton.
