Presented as a sequel to The Sublime Object of Ideology[[Psychoanalysis]] is less merciful than [[Christianity]]. Where God the [[Father]] forgives our [[ignorance]], this bookexamines the historical change emblematized by the shift in the tellingof the Rabinovitch joke from that first bookpsychoanalysis holds out no such hope. In particular, Ignorance is not a sufficient ground for forgiveness since it analysesthe re-emergence of militant nationalism and racism masks [[enjoyment]]; an enjoyment which erupts in the wake ofthe break-up of the socialist countries of Eastern Europe. Žižek iden-tifies the cause of this re-emergence those black holes in an eruption of enjoyment. Thisbook also contains an extended discussion of the concept of our [[symbolic]] [[universe]] that escape thevanishing mediatorFather's [[prohibition]].
Today, with the disintegration of [[Categorystate]] [[socialism]], we are witnessing this eruption of enjoymnet in the re-emergence of [[aggressive]] [[nationalism]] and [[racism]]. With the lid of [[repression]] lifted, the desires that have emerged are from from democratic. To explain this [[apparent]] [[paradox]], says Slavoj [[Zizek]], socialist critical [[thought]] must turn to psychoanalysis. ''For They [[Know]] Not What They Do'' seeks to [[understand]] the status of enjoyment within [[ideological]] [[discourse]], from [[Hegel]] through [[Lacan]] to these [[political]] and ideological deadlocks. The [[author]]'s own enjoyment of “popular culture” makes this an engaging and lucid exposition, in which Hegel joins hands with Rossellini, [[Marx]] with [[Hitchcock]], Lacan with Frankenstein, high [[theory]] with Hollywood melodrama. =====Product Details====={| style="width:100%; border:Works1px solid #aaa;text-align:left; line-height:2.0em; padding-left:10px;"|width="100%"| [[Slavoj Žižek|Zizek, Slavoj]].
