žižek biography
slavoj zizek is a philosopher hailing from ljubljana, slovenia.
he holds degrees in psychoanalysis, philosophy and sociology and, as well as being a towering public intellectual, zizek is also a political figure -- a candidate for the presidential committee in the first democratic elections in slovenia (1990) and a constant critic of world events from the september 11 attacks to the war in iraq to hurricane katrina responses.
full of references to jokes, films, and obscure theology, zizek's gigantic body of work traverses academic disciplinary boundaries. he employs figures such as marx, hegel, lacan and schelling to deftly analyze objects of culture like elevator buttons, diet coke and toilet bowls. these commentaries are not, however, diversions but rather constitute some of the most incisive social and economic criticism today.
zizek has written 50+ books translated into 20+ languages in addition to hundreds of articles.
