Synopsis "Pandemic! Covid-19 Shakes the World"

As an unprecedented global pandemic sweeps the planet, who better than the supercharged Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek to uncover its deeper meanings, marvel at its mind-boggling paradoxes and speculate on the profundity of its consequences?   We live in a moment when the greatest act of love is to stay distant from the object of your affection. When governments renowned for ruthless cuts in public spending can suddenly conjure up trillions. When toilet paper becomes a commodity as precious as diamonds. And when, according to Žižek, a new form of communism – the outlines of which can already be seen in the very heartlands of neoliberalism – may be the only way of averting a descent into global barbarism.   Written with his customary brio and love of analogies in popular culture (Quentin Tarantino and H. G. Wells sit next to Hegel and Marx), Žižek provides a concise and provocative snapshot of the crisis as it widens, engulfing us all.

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.
