=====Book Description=====
[[Image:FrightTears.jpg|200px|thumb|Book Cover]]
[[Film]] [[theory]] is in crisis. The dominant [[psychoanalytical]] paradigm is contested by cognitive models and post-theory. In the background is a wider crisis in [[cultural]] studies, particularly as regards the [[public]] [[role]] of the politically engaged [[intellectual]].
In this major new study Slavoj [[Zizek]] challenges both cognitivist-historicist accounts of [[cinema]] and conventional [[film theory]]. Arguing that the [[reading]] of [[Lacan]] operative in the '70s and '80s was particularly reductive, Zizek asserts that there is "[[another]] Lacan," in reference to whom film theory, cultural studies, and critical [[thought]] as such can be transformed and revitalized. He supports and expands this argument with an extensive reading of the [[work]] of [[Kieslowski]] and, in a substantial appendix, with a [[discussion]] of the [[relationship]] between [[Christianity]], Gothicism and the "progressive digitalisation of our [[life]]-[[world]]."

 =Review by [http://www.lacan.com/zizekchro2.htm Tony Myers]=This book is an intervention in the on-going debate in the field offilm studies which is split between Theory (anything loosely affiliatedwith structuralism and post-structuralism) and Post-Theory (anythingloosely affiliated with a dislike of structuralism and post-structuralism).The main cause of antipathy for the Post-Theorists was the dominanceof certain Lacanian concepts in the field of film studies. Žižek's argu-ment here, via a reading of Krzysztof Kieslowski's films, is that theseLacanian concepts were employed piecemeal without either due regardfor their philosophical matrix or for their implications. This book findsŽižek at his most robust and methodical, as he debunks the lamentableconclusions of Post-Theory, as well as at his most patient, as he explainsthe workings and value of Lacan's insights. {{Footer Books Slavoj ŽižekCBBSZ}}[[Category:Slavoj Žižek]][[Category:Works by Slavoj Žižek]][[Category:Works]][[Category:Books]][[Category:Psychoanalysis]]
