<div class="book-descr">

&lt;strong&gt;The eminent [[philosopher]] explodes the roles of [[pleasure]] and [[desire]] in contemporary [[politics]] and [[culture]].&lt;/strong&gt;

[[Psychoanalysis]] is less merciful than [[Christianity]]. Where God the [[Father]] forgives our [[ignorance]], psychoanalysis holds out no such hope. Ignorance is not a sufficient ground for forgiveness since it masks enjoyment; an enjoyment which erupts in those black holes in our [[symbolic]] [[universe]] that escape the Father's [[prohibition]].
Today, with the disintegration of [[state]] [[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 far from democratic. To explain this [[apparent]] [[paradox]], says Slavoj Zizek, socialist critical [[thought]] must turn to psychoanalysis.

&lt;em&gt;For They Know Not What They Do&lt;/em&gt; 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.
