Opis

Slavoj Zizek is the most popular and discussed philosopher in the world today. His prolific writings - across philosophy, psychoanalysis, political and social theory, film, music and religion - always engage and provoke. The power of his ideas, the breadth of his references, his capacity for playfulness and confrontation, his willingness to change his mind and his refusal fundamentally to alter his argument - all have worked to build an extraordinary international readership as well as to elicit much critical reaction. 'The Zizek Dictionary' brings together leading Zizek commentators from across the world to present a companion and guide to Zizekian thought. Each of the 60 short essays examines a key term and, crucially, explores its development across Zizek's work and how it fits in with other concepts and concerns. The dictionary will prove invaluable both to readers coming to Zizek for the first time and to those already embarked on the Zizekian journey.

Recenzje

"This is an extremely useful resource: the advantage of a "dictionary," or a concise encyclopedia, in this case, is that readers may hop around at will. For instance, one could begin with Zizek's entry on himself, found at the end of the book. This volume provides assistance to this approach by providing, at the end of each individual entry, recommendations for other entries...Overall...the quality of the offerings is uniformly high. This volume will appeal to a wide range of readers. Summing Up: Highly recommended." - D. W. Sullivan, Metropolitan State University of Denver, in CHOICE
