About the book: 1998 / Slavoj Zizek, a famous Slovenian philosopher and cultural theorist, lives and works in Ljubljana (Slovenia), he is the president of the Ljubljana Society for Theoretical Psychoanalysis and Institute for Social Research. His works “Everything you wanted to know about Lacan but were afraid to ask Hitchcock” (1982), “Coexistence with the Negative” (1993), “Love your symptom” (1992) brought him European fame. “13 Experiments on Lenin” (2002), etc. Currently, Slavoj Zizek is considered one of the most authoritative European experts in the field of problems of relationships between man and society. As Terry Eagleton writes, “Slavoj Žižek is the most visible example of a European postmodernist philosopher. He is a cross between a guru and a gadfly, a sage and a showman. Written in a distinctively postmodern style, his work unceremoniously crosses the boundaries between high and popular culture, jumping within a paragraph from Kierkegaard to Mel Gibson.»
