About Slavoj Zizek (born 1949)
Slovenian philosopher and cultural theorist whose Lacanian readings of ideology, film, and pop culture (The Sublime Object of Ideology, 1989) made him the most-cited continental philosopher of the 21st century. Closely associated with Alain Badiou (French Marxist philosophical contemporary) and Judith Butler (post-structuralist peer in gender theory). For an intellectual contrast, see Jordan Peterson, Canadian psychologist and 12 Rules for Life author — The 2019 Žižek-Peterson Toronto debate — billed 'Happiness: Capitalism vs Marxism' — sold out a 3,000-seat hall. The canonical contemporary 'continental Marxist vs Anglo-conservative-psychologist' clash, with diametrically opposed views on the political function of meaning-making.
The standard scholarly entry points to Slavoj Zizek's work: Tony Myers (Edinburgh, cultural theory) — Slavoj Žižek (2003); Glyn Daly (Northampton, political theory) — Conversations with Žižek (2004, with Žižek). These are the works graduate seminars cite when teaching Slavoj Zizek.
