Summary

"The Zizek Reader"--Which includes a foreword by Slavoj Zizek and an essay on cyberspace - provides a comprehensive introduction to the flamboyant work of a figure who has been variously described as "one of the most arresting, insightful and scandalous thinkers in recent memory", "the Giant of Ljubljana, the best intellectual high since Anti-Oedipus". His work is a mix of Hegel and Hitchcock, Schelling and science fiction, Kant and Courtly Love, Stalin and Stephen King, all of which is strongly seasoned with Lacanian psychoanalysis. Divided into three parts: "Culture", "Woman", and "Philosophy", the reader provides explications of the individual extracts within each section and connects these extracts in a general introduction, mapping the shiftings of Zizek's thought within the Lacanian framework. The essays on woman offer feminism ammunition from unexpected sources, within a reading of Lacan that goes counter to his ambiguous reception by feminists.

An introduction to Slavoj Zizek, this text is divided into three parts: "Culture", "Woman", and "Philosophy". It provides explications of the extracts in each section and connects these extracts in a general introduction, mapping the shiftings of Zizek's thought within the Lacanian framework.
