Книга: Sheehan Sean «Zizek. A Guide for the Perplexed»

Производитель: "Macmillan Publishers"

This is an up-to-date guide to the key ideas and writings of one of the most widely-read Cultural Theorists working today. One of the most widely-read thinkers writing today, Slavoj Zizek`s work can be both thrilling and perplexing in equal measure. Zizek: A Guide for the Perplexed is the most up-to-date guide available for readers struggling to master the ideas of this hugely influential thinker. Unpacking the philosophical references that fill Zizek`s writings, this book explores his influences from Hegel, Kant and Marx, through to his use of Lacanian psychoanalytic concepts. From there, a chapter on`Reading Zizek`guides the reader through the ways that Zizek applies these core theoretical concepts to his discussions of such issues as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the figure of Christ in contemporary culture. In addition, the book also includes guides to the Slovenian philosopher`s key texts - from The Sublime Object of Ideology through to his film The Pervert`s Guide to Cinema - and major secondary writings and online resources. Continuum`s Guides for the Perplexed are clear, concise and accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that students and readers can find especially challenging - or indeed downright bewildering. Concentrating specifically on what it is that makes the subject difficult to grasp, these books explain and explore key themes and ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of demanding material.
