Славой Жижек — библиография

In our brave new world of Big Tech, work is automated and money melts into air. What comes next as the global capitalist edifice crumbles? Slavoj Zizek shows how the answer is already stealing into sight, like a thief in broad daylight. What we must do is wake up and see it.

In vielerlei Zusammenh?ngen sprechen die Philosophen von Disparit?t, Ungleichheit, Verschiedenheit. Zu nennen sind so wichtige Referenztexte wie Hegels Vorwort zur »Ph?nomenologie des Geistes«, in dem der Philosoph an einer Schl?sselstelle mit dem Begriff der Ungleichheit operiert. Slavoj Žižek stellt den Begriff der Disparit?t nun ins Rampenlicht der philosophischen Reflexion. Er entwickelt ihn zu einem philosophischen Leitbegriff weiter und macht ihn zum Mittelpunkt eines neuen philosophischen Entwurfs, der insgesamt die Inkongruenz der Wirklichkeit thematisiert. In je eigenen Diskursen besch?ftigt Žižek sich mit dem Disparaten in den…

Статья С. Жижека посвящена кинофильму "Матрица".

A spirit is haunting contemporary thought – the spirit of Hegel. All the powers of academia have entered into a holy alliance to exorcize this spirit: Vitalists and Eschatologists, Transcendental Pragmatists and Speculative Realists, Historical Materialists and even ‘liberal Hegelians’. Which of these groups has not been denounced as metaphysically Hegelian by its opponents? And which has not hurled back the branding reproach of Hegelian metaphysics in its turn? Progressives, liberals and reactionaries alike receive this condemnation. In light of this situation, it is high time that true Hegelians should openly admit their allegiance and,…

Статья начинается с критики общепринятой интерпретации прозы Платонова 1920-х гг. Принято считать, что эти романы представляют собой критическое изображение сталинской утопии и ее катастрофических последствий. Автор спорит с подобной трактовкой, демонстрируя, что произведения Платонова — это критика не столько сталинизма, сколько гностико-материалистической утопии, против которой поздний сталинизм выступил в начале 1930-х гг. В тексте критически сталкиваются различные аспекты утопии «биокосмизма» как предтечи сегодняшнего техногнозиса. Особое внимание уделяется тенденции последнего к преодолению сексуальности как последнего очага буржуазной…

Žižek nimmt sich in seinem Opus magnum nichts weniger vor als eine Neudefinition des dialektischen Materialismus. Abgel?st von seinem urspr?nglichen ideologisch-politischen Kontext, passt dieser Begriff auf die Weltsicht moderner Wissenschaftler, die als Materialisten die Realit?t auf dialektische Weise verstehen: als dynamischen Prozess, der immer in Bewegung ist, in dem graduelle Ver?nderung in pl?tzliche Umschw?nge und explosionsartige Entwicklungen m?ndet. Dabei denkt Žižek Materialismus ohne «Materie» im substanziellen Sinn; an dessen Stelle steht ein rein formaler Materialismus der Wellen oder Quanten, die sich in einem…

One hundred years after the Russian Revolution, Žižek shows why Lenin’s thought is still important today Lenin’s originality and importance as a revolutionary leader is most often associated with the seizure of power in 1917. But, Žižek argues in this new study and collection of original texts, Lenin’s true greatness can be better grasped in the very last couple of years of his political life. Russia had survived foreign invasion, embargo and a terrifying civil war, as well as internal revolts such as at Kronstadt in 1921. But the new state was exhausted, isolated and disorientated in the face of the world revolution that seemed to be…

Zizek’s new philosophical masterwork. In this major new work the leading philosopher Slavoj Zizek argues that philosophical materialism has failed to meet the key scientific, theoretical and political challenges of the modern world, from relativity theory and quantum physics to Freudian psychoanalysis and the failure of twentieth-century Communism. To bring materialism up to date, Zizek proposes a new foundation for dialectical materialism. He argues that dialectical materialism is the only true philosophical inheritor of what Hegel designates as the speculative approach of thought – all other forms of materialism fail. In Absolute Recoil,…

The renowned philosopher finds a utopian future in worldwide protests. Call it the year of dreaming dangerously: 2011 caught the world off guard with a series of shattering events. While protesters in New York, Cairo, London, and Athens took to the streets in pursuit of emancipation, obscure destructive fantasies inspired the world’s racist populists in places as far apart as Hungary and Arizona, achieving a horrific consummation in the actions of mass murderer Anders Breivik. The subterranean work of dissatisfaction continues. Rage is building, and a new wave of revolts and disturbances will follow. Why? Because the events of 2011 augur a…

From the tragedy of 9/11 to the farce of the financial meltdown. Billions of dollars have been hastily poured into the global banking system in a frantic attempt at financial stabilization. So why has it not been possible to bring the same forces to bear in addressing world poverty and environmental crisis? In this take-no-prisoners analysis, Slavoj Zizek frames the moral failures of the modern world in terms of the epoch-making events of the first decade of this century. What he finds is the old one-two punch of history: the jab of tragedy, the right hook of farce. In the attacks of 9/11 and the global credit crunch, liberalism dies…
