Žižek, S. (1992) Enjoy Your Symptom! Jacques Lacan In Hollywood andOut, London and New York: Routledge.Picking up on one of the themes of For They Know Not What TheyDo, Žižek here attends to the ideology of cynicism - the fetishist 'Iknow very well . . . but all the same . . .'formulation which is one ofthe mainstays of his work. The book is structured around five chap-ters, each of which endeavours to explain a fundamental Lacanianconcept - letter, woman, repetition, phallus and father. Hollywood is once again the lure in this text as Zižek elaborates each concept withreference to popular culture. However, as with Looking Awry, the famil-iarity of the examples does not necessarily make this the most accessibleof his books to read.{{BBSZ}}
=====Book Description=====
[[Image:EnjoyYourSymptom2.jpg|200px|thumb|Book Cover]]
The title is just the first of many startling asides, observations and insights that fill this [[guide]] to Hollywood on the [[Lacanian]] psychoanalyst’s couch.
[[Zizek]] introduces the [[ideas]] of Jacques [[Lacan]] through the medium of American [[film]], taking his examples from over 100 years of [[cinema]], from Charlie Chaplin to The [[Matrix]] and referencing along the way such [[figures]] as [[Lenin]] and [[Hegel]], Michel [[Foucault]] and [[Jesus]] [[Christ]]. ''[[Enjoy]] Your [[Symptom]]!'' is a thrilling guide to cinema and [[psychoanalysis]] from a thinker who is perhaps the last standing giant of [[cultural]] [[theory]] in the twenty-first century. =====Product Details====={| style="width:100%; border:1px solid #aaa;text-align:left; line-height:2.0em; padding-left:10px;"|width="100%"| [[Slavoj Žižek|Zizek, SSlavoj]].
