Slavoj Zizek is one of today's leading theorists, whose polemical
works span topics from German idealism to Lacanian psychoanalysis,
from Shakespeare to Beckett, and from Hitchcock to Lynch. Critical
through and through of both post-modern ideological
complacencies-e.g., the death of the subject and the return to
ethics-and pre-modern ones-e.g., the re-enchantment of the world,
the embrace of postcritique-Zizek doubles down on the virtues of
the modern, on what it means to be modern, and to ask modern
questions (about the subject, nature, and political economy) in the
age of the Anthropocene. This volume takes up the challenges laid
out by Zizek's iconoclastic thinking and its reverberations in an
array of fields: philosophy, psychoanalysis, political theory,
literary studies, and film studies, among others. Zizek's
multi-disciplinary appeal attests to the provocation, if not
scandal, of his politically incorrect thought. Understanding Zizek,
Understanding Modernism makes the force and inventiveness of
Zizek's writings accessible to a wide range of students and
scholars invested in the open question of modernism and its
legacies.
