The good thing when we read Zizek on Lacan is that he manages to make Lacan almost "understandable," a pretty amazing tour-de-force since the whole point with Lacan is precisely not being understandable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-68108095983830206052009-05-15T18:02:00.000-04:002009-05-15T18:02:00.000-04:00Maybe we should start a fetish group around this b...Maybe we should start a fetish group around this book. :-)<br /><br />Remember how he talks about Davos turning into Porto Davos?

It is a book that debunk many ills of Western liberalism. The parallel he makes between the men of Porto Alegre and the men of Davos is illuminating, and so are his analysis of tolerance and Benjamin's "divine violence". Reading your post makes me want to read Zizek's Violence again! Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
