Žižek, S. (1994) The Metastases of Enjoyment: Six Essays on Woman and
Causality, London and New York: Verso.
This is one of Žižek's most rewarding books as it covers a range of
crucial topics from the cause of the subject through the role of the super-
ego to the impossibility of the sexual relationship. In each of the six
essays, Žižek begins by asking (and ultimately answering) the kind of
basic questions that anyone interested in Lacanian psychoanalysis sooner
or later wants to know the answers to. In the spirit of this fundamental
questioning, the book's Appendix contains a self-interview in which
Žižek poses to himself the kind of queries that bother what he terms
common knowledge' about Lacanian theory as well as his own work.
As a form of self-interrogation is the elementary procedure of all his
books, this interview represents Žižek in his essence or, as he might put
it (in Hegelese), Žižek in the mode of 'in-itself'.
