Changes

In this book, [[Slavoj Žižek ]] and Glyn Daly engage in a series of entertaining conversations which illustrate the originality of Žižek ‘s [[thinking ]] on [[psychoanalysis]], [[philosophy]], [[multiculturalism]], popular/cyber [[culture]], [[totalitarianism]], [[ethics ]] and [[politics]]. Žižek is a Slovenian [[philosopher ]] who trained as a [[Lacanian]]. He is at the forefront of [[philosophical]], [[political ]] and [[cultural ]] debate and is known for his theories, based largely on a Lacanian [[analysis]], on a wide range of [[subjects]], including [[globalization]], [[cyberspace]], [[film]], [[music ]] and [[opera]]. His [[work ]] continues to provoke controversy and to transform the way we [[think ]] [[about ]] these and [[other ]] issues of [[popular culture ]] and politics. In conversation with Glyn Daly, Žižek elaborates on a range of topics which encompass the [[purpose ]] of [[philosophy and psychoanalysis]], the [[films ]] of Stanley Kubrick, the [[notion ]] of [[enjoyment]], [[Marxism]], de [[Sade]], [[Nazism ]] and much more.

This book will provide readers with a unique glimpse at Žižek’s humour and [[character]], and is an [[ideal ]] introduction to his work. At the same [[time ]] it offers new [[material ]] and fresh perspectives, which will be of interest to followers of his writings, appealing to the general reader as well as to undergraduates and graduates studying [[social ]] [[theory]], cultural studies and politics.
