Žižek And So On

This week we're joined by Russ Sbriglia to discuss Zizek's upcoming events in the tristate area. Slavoj will be at Seaton Hall University in New Jersey on Monday April 11th! Zizek will also be in New York City, at NYU and the New School (sign up online for those events!)

After technical updates we discuss Russ' recent essay, "Enjoy Your Trump". We talk politics of enjoyment, the upcoming election, and yes he's back again, Trump...

This week, the second half of our conversation with Mladen Dolar. We talk about the early days of the Ljubljana school, the structuralist revolution, the choice to read Hegel through Lacan, and the Frankfurt school. Mladen was there for it all.

We’re talking mediation, the negative, Van Gogh immersive experiences, Sartre, Žižek’s early work on film, and the end of futurity.

Enjoy!
