Description
The Supreme Object of Ideology Book Description: Kant with Sade, Hegel with Lacan, Marx with Freud, Lacan with Hitchcock: In all of his works, starting with The Supreme Object of Ideology, Zizek emphasizes that "intertextual" reading is revolutionary, demonstrates its subversive power. When we read him together with Lacan, we understand that Hegel is not an "outdated" thinker who invented dialectics but could not go beyond being an idealist philosopher. We also learn from Lacan that Marx's work is not just about political economy, but that Marx invented the concept of "symptom", which sheds light on psychoanalysis and even makes it exist. When we read Lacan, who is famous for his "incomprehensibility" and being immersed in language games, together with "popular" Hollywood movies, the veil of mystery suddenly lifts. “Moralist” Kant gains a new meaning with Sade, the thinker of heresy. Freud sheds light on Marx, and American cardboard films shed light on Sade. And all of them give us clues about what, how and why we can change, which can help us make some sense of the age we live in. ...Number of Pages: 255Print Year: 2015Language: TurkishPublisher: Metis Publishing
