+ | In the months after [[September 11]], titles like “The End of the Age of Irony” abound in our [[media]]. [[Liberals]] and conservatives proclaim the end of the American holiday from [[history]]. Now the easy [[games]] are over; one should take sides. | ||

+ | [[Zizek]] argues that this is precisely the temptation to be resisted. In such moments of apparently clear choices, the [[real]] alternatives are most hidden. ''Welcome to the Desert of [[the Real]]'' steps back, complicating the choices imposed on us. It proposes that [[global]] [[capitalism]] is fundamentalist and that America was complicit in the rise of Muslim [[fundamentalism]]. It points to our dreaming [[about]] the catastrophe in numerous disaster movies before it happened, and explores the irony that the [[tragedy]] has been used to legitimize [[torture]]. Last but not least it [[analyses]] the fiasco of the predominant [[leftist]] response to the events. | ||
