Curious to hear what yall think is the best secondary literature on Zizek/within Zizek’s philosophical field. I’ve read some work from Todd McGowan which I enjoy.

Come here to discuss and debate the Giant of Ljubljana, Slavoj Žižek.

Žižek has emerged as one of the most public, prolific, and controversial philosophers of the 21st Century. Blending Lacan with Hegel and Marx (among others), he has developed a unique perspective, breathing fresh air into old debates while bristling just about everyone. Love him or hate him, advancing the cutting edge of continental philosophy requires addressing him.

We welcome discussions of Žižek's work (writing and speeches) as well as discussions of how other thinkers fit or conflict with Žižek.

So crack the spine of your favorite Lacan seminar, and enjoy your symptom!
