The Sublime Object of Ideology

De: Slavoj Žižek

Narrado por: Chris MacDonnell

Slavoj Žižek's first book is a provocative and original work looking at the question of human agency in a postmodern world. In a thrilling tour de force that made his name, he explores the ideological fantasies of wholeness and exclusion which make up human society.

a must read

this is a must read, after reading this book it has pretty much changed how I view the world and it's for the better. I can't recommend this enough

Zizek but not by Zizek

The delivery and reason have little of the energy, passion, and intonation of Zizek.

Great Listen

I liked both content and narrator.
Zizek has an ability to suddenly make you aware of aspects of language and reasoning that are unaccessible in an Facebook world :-)

Hegel x Lacan?

After watching many lectures from Slavoj I reached for this book. It was enjoyable, meaningful and the jokes helped to pinpoint an argument.
What Im thinking now is : ok , I have to re-listen or rather read this book now and , my second , bigger concern : what if I CANNOT read Lacan or Hegel without Zizek's interpretation? What if there is way more than Hegel meant but I cannot view it from Lacan / Zizek schema?
Time to spend 10 years reading Hegel I guess.
And was as hard as introduction
narrator's voice changed, like if he was recorded in 10 different recording rooms

sinthome

When I hear the British accent, I become demonstrably ignorant; less than. But then I hear the mispronunciation of French terms, and I become absolved of my sin; my enjoyment rejuvenated.
