Publisher Synopsis
"When reading some of i ek s more theoretical texts, we often feel that we understand his argument well illustrated as it is through jokes and references to popular culture but that there remains something that we feel unable to grasp (perhaps something in i ek more than himself ). This is the gap filled by i ek Now : a near-comprehensive road map to i ek s more challenging and fascinating ideas" Information, Communication & Society "Though the i ek-critique machine has by now begun to compete, in vigor and volume of output, with the i ek-machine itself, this collection of essays, devoted to one of the foremost philosophers of our era, still stands out as exemplary. The various essays demonstrate deep appreciation and knowledge of the ever-expanding i ek oeuvre and articulate strong, original interpretations of its development and repetitions." Joan Copjec,University of Buffalo "The wide-ranging scope and impressive eclecticism of this collection captures the dazzling spirit and dizzying letter of its topic: i ek Now carries the innovative character and challenging symptoms of Slavoj i ek s theoretical achievement and political provocation. i ek Now offers a valuable commentary on what is best in Slavoj's thought." Costas Douzinas, Birkbeck University of London "Zizek Now will undoubtedly become a key text, not only for students who aim to politicize their socio-political and cultural engagement but also for any individuals wishing to orientate themselves in relation to the diverse but interdependent strands of Zizek's output."
