In (2008), Alenka Zupančič explores the inter-relationship between [[comedy]] and philosophy/psychoanalysis. Her [[claim]] is that this relationship is far from simple and it can be dated back to the lost second book of Aristotle’s that supposedly included the examination of the [[nature]] of comedy and the [[analysis]] of what is funny. Zupančič insists that comedy is inherently subversive and makes a [[distinction]] between “comedy” and “cheerfulness.” Unlike “comedy,” “cheerfulness” is described as something that is ideologically imposed and therefore fundamentally problematic. Her book provides numerous examples from both philosophy and popular [[culture]] (Borat, [[Hegel]], George W. [[Bush]], [[Freud]], [[Aristophanes]], etc.), and it describes how comedy is capable of letting the odd one in.
Alenka Zupančič’s latest book in English is (2008). The book revolves around the questions of [[Being]], [[Freedom]], and Comedy. In this work, Zupančič attempts to connect her earlier reinterpretation of Kantian ethics with her [[understanding]] of comedy and to [[outline]] a unique theory of [[The Subject|the subject]].
Her most [[recent]] work concerns the relationship between sexuality and ontology. According to Zupančič, Freud claims that sexuality is fundamentally problematic because it is [[impossible]] to describe it or to delineate it in precise and fixed [[terms]]. Therefore, the main characteristic of sexuality is its [[impossibility]] of being bounded or demarcated. As such, sexuality is important because it points outward toward a non-reducible [[ontological]] [[inconsistency]].
