 Žižek, S. and Dolar, M. (2002) Opera's Second Death, London and NewYork: Routledge.If Hitchcock's films are the most common source of examples inŽižek's books, Wagner's operas probably run them a close second.Picking up on this exemplary obsession and expanding his analysis ofit from Tarrying with the Negative, Žižek here devotes half a book tothe subject - the other half being Dolar's discussion of Mozart's operas.What is slightly unusual about this book is the subtle change of emphasiswhere, instead of using Wagnerian opera as a means to explain Lacaniantheory, Žižek is more intent here on using Lacanian theory to explainWagnerian opera. This perhaps makes the book a more relaxing readthan the standard Žižekian work, as the reader is no longer fraughtwith the expectation that each example will have to bear the weightof a demanding Lacanian theorem.{{CBBSZ}}
