Žižek's 10 minute section from 'Examined Life'. Žižek stance is explicitly against the romantic conception of nature, and the related myth of the 'natural' as a 'balanced harmony'. In fact, in his refusal of the term itself—'there is no nature'—it seems that, for Žižek, nature is inescapably tainted with romanticism

Zizek, in Violence: Six Sideways Reflections, suggests that we should always think before we act. We should resist to the calls of pseudo-activism that always tries to engage us in action. He argues that we should always 'learn, learn and learn', as Lenin did after the beginning of World War One in 1914:

Žižek's early work suggested that the goal of his Lacanian rethinking of ideology was to enable societies to free themselves from "ideological fantasies" - like recurrent ideas of a

that we are always duped, especially when we believe we are not, since we can never subjectivise the unconscious content that binds us to a given symbolic order of meaning. His succinct definition of the ruse of ideology is in this sense exemplary: 'the stepping out of (what we experience as) ideology is the very form of our enslavement to it' (Žižek 1994: 6).

Cynical distance is just one way - one of many ways - to blind ourselves to the structuring power of ideological fantasy: even if we do not take things seriously, even if we keep an ironic distance, we are still doing them '.

erpretation makes life easier. However, nature is not an absolute balance and total harmony (this aspect of Žižek's thought makes him ak. n to classical conservatives). Nature is a s. ries of unthinkable disasters. Žižek believes that ecology is transforming into a new western conservative ideology: "One sho. ld not play games.

The Real is not reality, existing in opposition to it; it is that which is at the limits of language, and can only be partially and incompletely approached as, or via, trauma, lack or enjoyment.3 But the Real is constitutive and as such forms a 'hard kernel' at the heart of existence. Much of Zizek 's writing is an oblique approach to the

Slavoj Žižek is a Slovenian-born political philosopher and cultural critic. He was described by British literary theorist, Terry Eagleton, as the "most formidably brilliant" recent theorist to have emerged from Continental Europe. Žižek's work is infamously idiosyncratic.

Žižek's Lacanian analysis of ideology is probably one of the most important contributions to descriptive political theory since the 1980s. Žižek's theory of ideology adeptly employs his 'Lacanian dialectics'. This is a unique synthesis of Lacanian psychoanalysis and Hegelian dialectics, which allows Žižek to grasp the

For Zizek, ideology is not analyzed as an abstract system of principles but as a material force which structures our actual life. An analysis that necessitates the methods of psychoanalysis to unearth the libidinal investments that regulate our daily lives. ... This should not be a shock.

I. In The Sublime Object of Ideology, Slavoj Žižek famously lays out his analysis of claims that we* find ourselves in a postideological age.. Žižek doesn't exactly mean "postideological" in the sense of Daniel Bell or Francis Fukuyama.

About this book. This book is an exploration of Žižek's theory of freedom. By examining key passages in Žižek's work the aim is to provide a functional, serviceable philosophy of power and ideology and show how this philosophy of power relates to freedom.

In this article, I interpret Zizek's recent call to "abandon hope" and embrace the "courage of hopelessness," as a provocation to articulate a new kind of utopia, rather than an endorsement of despair. On Zizek's analysis, progressive hopes are currently directed towards fixing the existing situation, rather than accepting that the things that we hope will not happen are, in fact
