Repeating Zizek offers a serious engagement with the ideas and
propositions of philosopher Slavoj Zizek. Often subjecting Zizek's
work to a Zizekian analysis, this volume's contributors consider
the possibility (or impossibility) of formalizing Zizek's ideas
into an identifiable philosophical system. They examine his
interpretations of Hegel, Plato, and Lacan, outline his debates
with Badiou, and evaluate the implications of his analysis of
politics and capitalism upon Marxist thought. Other essays focus on
Zizek's approach to Christianity and Islam, his "sloppy" method of
reading texts, his relation to current developments in
neurobiology, and his theorization of animals. The book ends with
an afterword by Zizek in which he analyzes Shakespeare's and
Beckett's plays in relation to the subject. The contributors do not
reach a consensus on defining a Zizekian school of
philosophy-perhaps his idiosyncratic and often heterogeneous ideas
simply resist synthesis-but even in their repetition of Zizek, they
create something new and vital. Contributors. Henrik Joker Bjerre,
