Description
Looking Crooked Book Description: Hitchcock movies, Stephen King, horror, science fiction and detective stories, popular romantic novels, today's mass culture, Stalinist pornography, Formal Democracy, then Lacan, Hegel, Kant, Sade and others... All together, side by side In moments when the automaticity of the thinking and explanation frameworks in which we have always been comfortable are interrupted, there are things that we feel and intuit, but remain unspoken because we cannot penetrate their deepest logic... Coming from the new social movements that have recently risen in the "periphery" of Europe. Perhaps thanks to this distance, Slavoj Zizek is able to put such things into words. He does this by reading together themes and people that we cannot think of together at first hand; Thanks to this "crooked view" specific to Zizek, brand new layers of thought that could never be seen with a straight, frontal view are revealed to our eyes. Even though Zizek writes like sugar from one stone to another, he is able to cover the cultural expressions of the age we live in with extraordinary fluency, without ever distracting the narrative. In which area does this book fit? Philosophy or psychoanalysis? Film or literary criticism? Or is it sociology or politics? In our opinion, all and none. Only this can be said; Such a text could only be written by Zizek. We think you will read it with pleasure.
