- Lecture given by Slavoj Žižek - Slovenian continental philosopher and critical theorist working in the traditions of Hegelianism, Marxism and Lacanian psychoanalysis. He has made contributions to political theory, film theory, and theoretical psychoanalysis.
my favorite thing about zizek is how you can always know how long his speeches will be. from the first time he says "to conclude", you know he's halfway :P
i thought from the title that was going to be a discussion of events happening this year until it got to 91 -_-
haha, he doesn't have the same accent as me and he touches his nose sometimes!
WHAT AN IDIOT!
jk, Zizek's insightful and worth listening to. Someone who criticizes him on speech and mannerism seems afraid to consider a perspective differing from their own.
It is also a misinterpretation to try and force a universal theory down on Zizek imo. He is very concrete in his analysis and that is an important point. As Marx would say critique of capitalism must be communicated through real examples of exploitation - Zizek does this with ideology especially. Ideology takes many forms and is therefore not one overarching thing, but specific to the local circumstances. Its "theme" is the claim of universality where it doesnt exist.
I am afraid that is what takes to critic someone who is taken very seriously in his field, i have found a couple of works who attempt a critic.
i really like many things he says and i think are really sharp, overall when he speaks about ideology and applies it to tolerance and harassment. Once again i think he has to be contested in his terms
If an idea is not genuinely yours, and ultimatley there is no ingenuity, it's an ideology. Ulimatley everything is an ideology. Ultimately there is no right or wrong.
But, If
You're Thinkin'

It Don't Matter If You're
Black Or White
you have all the space and time you want to construct a serious critic to this lecture, will you?
haha, i seem to like what you don't straight away liked his style and his accent, straight forward and no complexes, i heard he is diabetic, that maybe explains his bad look not the coke. But he is a philosopher and i am not, so can't understand his academic jargon, first as tragedy then as farce is a very good little book that i think can be read by non philosophers
This is a piece of art and its place is in the UNESCO Cultural Heritage. Simply brilliant, nothing to be added or subtracted. I am in absolute awe of what i saw, heard and experienced this past hour. Please excuse me my pretentiousness, I just had to get it out of my system :) Enjoy your reading of the comments section and may you ignore this one.
whenever i see Zizek i want to sneeze
ANYONE NOTICE HIS WEIRD MANNERISMS, LOL?
check for Paul Bowman critique to Zizek

Well... I would challenge even the assumption that you want to verify his "soundness" of his claims as if its some kind of natural science. Hes "overarching" theme is basically the combination of Hegel and Lacan - dialectics and the interplay of the imaginary, the symbolic and the real. I see him as using the psychoanalytic method on societal relations - to challenge our beliefs and objective ideologies much in the way a psychoanalyst would do with a patient.
I've often wondered whether Zizek's bodily 'tics' - as I suppose they would be called - were semi-conscious, if not intentional, modes of expression. Him talking about the concept 'neighbour' as something which you don't expect or don't/can't understand resonates in relation to these actions whether they are done voluntarily or otherwise. I found that the counter in this video caused me to ignore these mannerisms, at least up until the point in the lecture where he discusses this concept.
in 16:00 when he speak about ''inner authenticity of one's life and ethics one practice'' reminds me to Andres Beirvik using Banzai meditation to be able to commit his massacre
Try and enable interactive transscription (in the opposite right position of the like/dislike buttons).
"there is no reason to think that this is authentic" - in fact! But it sounds as if zizek doesnt realise fully how right he is, when he refers to the phone-calls in the flight of 9/11!
"You do it because it has to be done." I think all of us have things in our lives that have to be done, but that, for whatever reason - malaise, procrastination, exhaustion - we don't do them.
@papaparanoya
The number changes every time he touches his nouse
Dudes don't spoil that, now I knew it before even watching the video :(
He is pretty smart :)
actually i'm kind of distracted by that big number counting down
Overreaction much? Understanding is always stronger than condemnation! ;)
The count decreases every time he touches his Face lol
I enjoy that someone is making the distinction between the concepts of "idealism" and "truth."
hahahaha automatic captions on english! (CC) hahahah hilarous! .....
love the reference to Agota Kristof - a great trilogy of books
@MrJthl you deserve a career in comedy.
How about the sexy shirt pulls?
He's very good. Not my absolute favorite philosopher, but he has a lot of good things to say. His delivery never really bothered me. I'm assuming you're something of a fan since you're familiar with his work.
Mister Takeda This may seem like a very random question but where is your profile picture from? I see it everywhere and don’t get it. Certainly from a game. Deus Ex maybe?
@@ArmLegLegArmHead47 Yeah dues ex
Okay, somebody please help me. What is the deal with the numbers? I thought at first they were changing in correlation to whenever Slavoj makes a subject change, but that is definitely not the case because sometimes it changes two or three numbers in just a few seconds.
+Austin Goodrich seems like every time he touches his nose
+Kid Droski Ahahaha! Brilliant! Thank you very much
I think that people who support regimes built on ideology, whilst the evidence they are faced with shows it to be a failure... have simply been persuaded that the idea would work if only it wasn't opposed...
Therefore, they see that it is failing but they can say it is because other people are causing it to fail... _"if only the rest of the world was Stalinist... Stalin would have been good for Russia... and then nobody in Russia would feel the need to object... and that would mean no need for political prisoners..."
Oh... just got to "the big other..." bit.
hahaha
It works for him!
lol
BEAUTIFUL!!!
loll
It makes him ramble endlessly, if that's what you mean by "works".
I've been trying to diagnose him like a disease. I'm not a fan.
He gives a great argument against the notion encapsulated in the phrase "We are the 99%!".
It is true that we are are not the 1%, but only in relative terms and for the reasons he states (i.e. racism, sexism, etc.). We have to resolve this contradition if we are to move forward with the struggle and OWS movement.
