| − | Žižek, S. (1994) The Metastases of Enjoyment: Six Essays on Woman and
| |
| − | Causality, London and New York: Verso. | |
| − | This is one of Žižek's most rewarding books as it covers a range of
| |
| − | crucial topics from the cause of the subject through the role of the super-
| |
| − | ego to the impossibility of the sexual relationship. In each of the six
| |
| − | essays, Žižek begins by asking (and ultimately answering) the kind of
| |
| − | basic questions that anyone interested in Lacanian psychoanalysis sooner
| |
| − | or later wants to know the answers to. In the spirit of this fundamental
| |
| − | questioning, the book's Appendix contains a self-interview in which
| |
| − | Žižek poses to himself the kind of queries that bother what he terms
| |
| − | common knowledge' about Lacanian theory as well as his own work.
| |
| − | As a form of self-interrogation is the elementary procedure of all his
| |
| − | books, this interview represents Žižek in his essence or, as he might put
| |
| − | it (in Hegelese), Žižek in the mode of 'in-itself'.
