What do sex doll sales, locust swarms and a wired-brain pig have to
do with the coronavirus pandemic? Everything--according to that
"Giant of Lubliana," the inimitable Slovenian philosopher Slavoj i
ek. In this exhilarating sequel to his acclaimed Pandemic!:
COVID-19 Shakes the World, i ek delves into some of the more
surprising dimensions of lockdowns, quarantines, and social
distancing--and the increasingly unruly opposition to them by
"response fatigued" publics around the world. i ek examines the
ripple effects on the food supply of harvest failures caused by
labor shortages and the hyper-exploitation of the global class of
care workers, without whose labor daily life would be impossible.
Through such examples he pinpoints the inability of contemporary
capitalism to safeguard effectively the public in times of crisis.
Writing with characteristic daring and zeal, i ek ranges across
critical theory, pop-culture, and psychoanalysis to reveal the
troubling dynamics of knowledge and power emerging in these viral
times.
