Description
Slavoj Žižek explores the concept of 'event', examining how something happens and what it means. In this new series of commute-length books of original thought, he addresses fundamental questions about reality, existence and our place in the world. Žižek draws on a wide range of references to explore the nature of an event - from philosophical concepts to art and cinema. He considers whether all things are connected, how much we control our own lives, and what it takes for something to be truly real. This book is part of Žižek's ongoing work on dialectical materialism, critique of ideology and art, offering a unique perspective on the world and its many transformations.
