Description

Product Description "Repeating Zi ek" offers a serious engagement with the ideas and propositions of philosopher Slavoj Zi ek. Often subjecting Zi ek's work to a Zi ekian analysis, this volume's contributors consider the possibility (or impossibility) of formalizing Zi ek's ideas into an identifiable philosophical system. They examine his interpretations of Hegel, Plato, and Lacan, outline his debates with Badiou, and evaluate the implications of his analysis of politics and capitalism upon Marxist thought. Other essays focus on Zi ek's approach to Christianity and Islam, his "sloppy" method of reading texts, his relation to current developments in neurobiology, and his theorization of animals. The book ends with an afterword by Zi ek in which he analyzes Shakespeare's and Beckett's plays in relation to the subject. The contributors do not reach a consensus on defining a Zi ekian school of philosophy--perhaps his idiosyncratic and often heterogeneous ideas simply resist synthesis--but even in their repetition of Zi ek, they create something new and vital.

The essays take up the most pressing questions Zi ek's work poses. Whereas other discussions of him endlessly discuss his jokes, style, and embrace of popular culture, the essays collected here pursue philosophical, psychoanalytic, and political questions. From the outset, Agon Hamza's insistence on treating Zi ek's thought as a philosophical system sweeps aside the interpretive clutter that has plagued Zi ek's interpretation for over twenty years. Finally, we can get some work done." --Jodi Dean, author of" i ek's Politics"" From the Author Agon Hamza is a PhD candidate in philosophy at the Postgraduate School ZRC SAZU in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
