Lacan: The Silent Partners (wo es War) (in English)
Slavoj Zizek
Synopsis "Lacan: The Silent Partners (wo es War) (in English)"
Jacques Lacan is the foremost psychoanalytic theorist after Freud. Revolutionizing the study of social relations, his work has been a major influence on political theory, philosophy, literature and the arts, but his thought has so far been studied without a serious investigation of its foundations. Just what are the influences on his thinking, so crucial to its proper understanding? In Lacan: The Silent Partners Slavoj i ek, the maverick theorist and pre-eminent Lacan scholar, has marshalled some of the greatest thinkers of our age in support of a dazzling re-evaluation of Lacan's work. Focusing on Lacan's 'silent partners', those who are the hidden inspiration to Lacan theory, they discuss his work in relation to the pre-socratics, Diderot, Hegel, Nietzsche, Schelling, Holderlin, Wagner, Turgenev, Kafka, Henry James and Artaud. This Major collection, including three essays by i ek, marks a new era in the study of this unsettling thinker, breathing new life into this classic work. Contributors: Alain Badiou, Bruno Bosteels, Miran Bozovic, Lorenzo Chiesa, Joan Copjec, Mladen Dolar, Timothy Huson, Frederic Jameson, Adrian Johnston, Sigi Jottkandt, Silvia Ons, Robert Pfaller, Alenka Zupan?i? and Slavoj i ek.
Slavoj Žižek (Liubliana, 21 de marzo de 1949) es un filósofo, psicoanalista y crítico cultural esloveno. Es director internacional del Instituto Birkbeck de Humanidades de la Universidad de Londres. Imparte filosofía continental, psicoanálisis, teoría política, estudios culturales, crítica cinematográfica, marxismo, hegelianismo y teología.
En 1989, Žižek publicó su primer texto en inglés, The Sublime Object of Ideology (El sublime objeto de la ideología), en el que se apartó de la teoría marxista tradicional para desarrollar una concepción materialista de la ideología que se basó en gran medida en el psicoanálisis lacaniano y el idealismo hegeliano.
En 2012, Foreign Policy incluyó a Žižek en su lista de los 100 mejores pensadores globales, llamándolo una «celebridad filosófica». El trabajo de Žižek fue narrado en un documental del año 2005 titulado Zizek!. Una revista académica, el International Journal of Žižek Studies, se fundó para comprender su trabajo.
