Public Lecture open to students and faculty from the European Graduate School EGS Media and Communication Studies DepartmentProgram, Saas-Fee, Switzerland. Slavoj Zizek is one of the greatest philosophers of our time. In order for Marx and philosophers to examine not only the world but to change it, its boundaries on the work of the Gospel. Standing astride critical theory, the traditional philosophy, politics and film theory and psychoanalytic theory, he is in a sense, the only contemporary legacy of Lacan, to Lacan, what Lacan once did for Freud . Although accused at times of instability,Žižek uses instead the philosophical tradition, in constant (and undermining) received truths.

Slavoj Žižek. Date humanity & The Post-Modern. 2009 13/17

www.egs.edu Slavoj Žižek discussing Hegel in reference to Charlie Chaplins The Great Dictator, Leni Riefenstahl, fascism, the Nazi propaganda film Kolberg, Alfred Hitchcocks Vertigo, objectivity in film. He also spoke about Peter Sloterdijk and Jürgen Habermas as well as ethics, dignity, military technology, pharmonarcoleptic drugs, scientology and Ron Hubbard. Public open lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS Media and Communication Studies department program Saas-Fee, Switzerland. Slavoj Žižek is one of the most renowned philosophers working today. Taking Marxs injunction that philosophers must not only examine the world, but change it, his work borders on the evangelic. Standing astride critical theory, traditional philosophy, political and film theory and theoretical psychoanalysis, he is, in one sense the sole contemporary inheritor of Lacan, doing to Lacan what Lacan once did for Freud. Though at times accused of inconsistency, Žižek instead uses the philosophical tradition to constantly examine (and undermine) received truths. He has argued that it is not the role of the philosopher to act as the Big Other who tells us about the world, but rather it is the role of the thinker to challenge our own ideological assumptions. Slavoj Žižek is the International Director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, a professor of philosophy and psychoanalysis at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland and a visiting ...
