The Most Sublime Hysteric: Hegel With Lacan (in English)
Slavoj Zizek
Synopsis "The Most Sublime Hysteric: Hegel With Lacan (in English)"
What Do We Know About Hegel? What Do We Know About Marx? What Do We Know About Democracy And Totalitarianism? Communism And Psychoanalysis? What Do We Know That Isn`T A Platitude That We`Ve Heard A Thousand Times - Or A Self - Satisfied Certainty? Through His Brilliant Reading Of Hegel, Slavoj Zizek - One Of The Most Provocative And Widely - Read Thinkers Of Our Time - Upends Our Traditional Understanding, Dynamites Every Cliché And Undermines Every Conviction In Order To Clear The Ground For New Ways Of Answering These Questions. When Lacan Described Hegel As The Most Sublime Hysteric, He Was Referring To The Way That The Hysteric Asks Questions Because He Experiences His Own Desire As If It Were The Other`S Desire. In The Dialectical Process, The Question Asked Of The Other Is Resolved Through A Reflexive Turn In Which The Question Begins To Function As Its Own Answer. We Had Made Hegel Into The Theorist Of Abstraction And Reaction, But By Reading Hegel With Lacan, Zizek Unveils A Hegel Of The Concrete And Of Revolution - His Own, And The One To Come. This Early And Dazzlingly Original Work By Zizek Offers A Unique Insight Into The Ideas Which Have Since Become Hallmarks Of His Mature Thought. It Will Be Of Great Interest To Anyone Interested In Critical Theory, Philosophy And Contemporary Social Thought
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.
