Zižek is hailed as the most significant interdisciplinary thinker
of modern times. His work is a powerful, often explosive
combination of Lacanian psychoanalysis and philosophy which tests
key psychoanalytical concepts against the ideas of major European
thinkers, especially Hegel. It has ignited enthusiasm and
stimulated new approaches across a vast range of disciplines, and
seems to be attracting an ever-growing readership. In part, this is
because Zižek himself has a panoramic range of interests
encompassing film studies, literature, cyber culture, ethics,
theology and, above all, politics. It is also because he is a
highly entertaining writer, having a flair for anecdote, a smutty
sense of humour and the knack of capturing complex ideas in
concrete form.
Sarah Kay's book provides a lucid and comprehensive introduction
to Zižek's work. His writings to date are presented and evaluated
here for the first time, together with an outline of their
development and explanations of his key premises, themes and terms.
This book will be essential reading for students of cultural
studies, literary studies, philosophy and social and political
theory.
