Description

This provocative work by Slavoj Žižek explores the ideas of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, linking his concepts to figures from Oedipus and Hegel. Žižek examines how Deleuzian ideas are reflected in films like Fight Club and the works of Hitchcock, before turning on what he sees as the 'radical chic' Deleuzians.

Žižek argues that these projects turn Deleuze into an ideologist of today's digital capitalism. With his characteristic energy and argumentation, Žižek sets out to restore a truer, more radical Deleuze than the one we thought we knew.

This book is a polemical exploration of Deleuzian concepts and their relevance in contemporary culture.
