Changes

Žižek, along with Alain Badiou, recognizes something in Wagner’s works that is worth examining in new ways that diverge from the standard postmodern criti- cisms. For Žižek, “the battle for Wagner is not over: today, after the exhaustion of the critical-historicist and aestheticist paradigms, it is entering its decisive phase” (“Brunhilde”s Act”: 3). Žižek’s critique of Wagner points the way forwards.
