Articles by Slavoj Žižek
This page provides a chronological bibliography of newspaper, journal, and magazine articles written by Slavoj Žižek. It is intended as a structured reference resource for Žižek’s shorter periodical writings, complementing separate pages devoted to his books, lectures, and other works.
The term “article” is used here in a restricted sense. The list includes texts published in newspapers, academic journals, and general-interest magazines, as well as comparable periodical venues. It excludes books, standalone essays published only as chapters, interviews, transcripts, and editorial materials such as forewords or introductions unless they first appeared in a periodical format.
Where a text has appeared in multiple venues (e.g., syndicated newspaper publication, translation, or revised republication), a single primary entry is given. Major alternative versions are noted where relevant. Titles are listed in their original language where known, with English titles provided when different.
The list is organized chronologically by decade, with entries ordered by year of first publication.
Editorial Note on Scope and Inclusion
- Includes: newspapers, journals, magazines, and equivalent periodical essays
- Excludes: books, book chapters, forewords, interviews, lectures, blog-only posts (unless clearly functioning as periodical essays)
- Priority is given to first publication
- Syndicated or translated versions are noted but not duplicated as separate entries

Notes on Publication and Variants
- Many articles by Žižek are syndicated across multiple newspapers (e.g., The Guardian, The Independent, Die Zeit, Le Monde diplomatique).
- In such cases, the earliest verifiable publication is treated as the primary entry.
- Translations are generally not listed separately unless they involve substantive revision.
- Some later writings circulate simultaneously across print and digital platforms; classification is based on their primary editorial context rather than medium alone.
