Slavoj Zizek, a Slovenian sociologist, postmodern philosopher, and cultural critic is a professor at the Institute for Sociology, Ljubljana and at the European Graduate School EGS who uses popular culture to explain the theory of Jacques Lacan and the theory of Jacques Lacan to explain politics and popular culture.

This is the best university commercial I've ever seen.
"u ask urself a question and you answer it"
LOL
sounds pretty much like my PhD
Thank you so much, EGS, for these videos. The more I watch, the more I become enamored...
Thank you for posting European Graduate School!
archivegrl is DELIGHTED. magnificent.
However, compressed study can lead to 'information overload' as in my case this year at Saas-Fee. I think the question is, is EGS an authentic 'counterfoil institute' as in Lindisfarne, as it was, or Black Mountain College? In other words, does one really get an education at EGS, or is it merely an "information system" that has a lot of latitude?
@francotenelli could not agree more
@MrDiceman9000 you need to see the world dude, most people speak with heavy accents
is a potential danger to many trends in our society, like tolerance or identity.
so it is no accident, that he has many enemies. then, it's also not important, if his ideas are right or not.
@sifir0 oh truly? could you explain why?
perhaps a revenge against chomsky's views on lacan? it's a bit unfair i think, especially in the light of critical theory and action, where chomsky's political work still is much more important than pretty much all of the critical european thinkers, including foucault and newer ones including most all of these egs lecturers. not that they don't have great insights, but i still think chomsky's critique of the european critical postmodern tradition is right on the money, as it were..
this guy's ideas are all over the place, just like the bowl of cereal I threw while listening to this
Not enough yet, i don't see enough expropriations and workers militias yet...
New College of Florida, which I attended from 96 - 99, is a lot like the democratic streamlining of education he mentions. It's a beautiful thing. :-)
I read a lot of his works, but I always got impatient hearing him talking without subtitles. How sad.
My Gott, why don't we make a theory out of... private jokes?!!! That pretty much sums up Zizek for me.
Zizek doing good commercially?? No way???
Lmao! I'm dying.
cocaïne mister Zizek ? what is the "nose trick" ? :)
i can't really tell what he speaks positively about and what he criticizes because of his accent. sometimes i get his point, but most of the time, i'm just listening to the accent.
If I cannot understand his pronunciation I just listen again and again.
in the grand tradition of freud and sherlock holmes... ;-)
fail
This coke addict sure is brilliant. But maybe he should cool down a little beetween each thoughts that spread into his head.
(The philosopher coach.)
Yeah ! This coke addict can sure speak fast. Quite interesting and brilliant anyway...
All the nose touching. Is this guy on coke?
I like Zizek althought so much Marx has flaws....Anyway this nose touching is intriguing (and annoying) : either its coke or sinusitis, it can't be anything else than these two...
