#redirect [[Image:MetastasesEnjoyment-large.jpg |right|frame]]  =Source=Žižek, S. (1994) The Metastases of Enjoyment: Six Essays on Woman andCausality, London and New York: Verso.  =Review by [http://www.lacan.com/zizekchro2.htm Tony Myers]= This is one of Žižek's most rewarding books as it covers a range ofcrucial 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 sixessays, Žižek begins by asking (and ultimately answering) the kind ofbasic questions that anyone interested in Lacanian psychoanalysis sooneror later wants to know the answers to. In the spirit of this fundamentalquestioning, the book's Appendix contains a self-interview in whichŽižek poses to himself the kind of queries that bother what he termscommon knowledge' about Lacanian theory as well as his own work.As a form of self-interrogation is the elementary procedure of all hisbooks, this interview represents Žižek in his essence or, as he might putit (in Hegelese), Žižek in the mode of 'in-itself'.   [[Category:Slavoj Žižek]][[Category:Works by Slavoj Žižek]][[Category:Works]][[Category:Books]][[Category:Psychoanalysis]]
