Synopsis "Demanding The Impossible"

Where Are We Today And What Is To Be Done? Slavoj Zizek Ponders These Questions In This Unique And Timely Book. Based On Live Interviews, The Book Captures Zizek At His Irrepressible Best, Elucidating Such Topics As The Uprisings Of The Arab Spring, The Global Financial Crisis, Populism In Latin America, The Rise Of China And Even The Riddle Of North Korea. Zizek Dazzles Readers With His Analyses Of Hollywood Films, Venezuelan Police Reports, Swedish Crime Fiction And Much Else. Wherever The Conversation Turns, His Energetic Mind Illuminates Unexpected Horizons. While Analyzing Our Present Predicaments, Zizek Also Explores Possibilities For Change. What Sort Of Society Is Worth Striving For? Why Is It Difficult To Imagine Alternative Social And Political Arrangements? What Are The Bases For Hope? A Key Obligation In Our Troubled Times, Argues Zizek, Is To Dare To Ask Fundamental Questions: We Must Reflect And Theorize Anew, And Always Be Prepared To Rethink And Redefine The Limits Of The Possible. These Original And Compelling Conversations, Many Appearing Here For The First Time In English, Offer An Engaging And Accessible Introduction To One Of The Most Important Thinkers Of Our Time

Slavoj Žižek (Liubliana, 21 de marzo de 1949) es un filósofo, psicoanalista y crítico cultural esloveno. Es director internacional del Instituto Birkbeck de Humanidades de la Universidad de Londres.​ Imparte filosofía continental, psicoanálisis, teoría política, estudios culturales, crítica cinematográfica, marxismo, hegelianismo y teología.

En 1989, Žižek publicó su primer texto en inglés, The Sublime Object of Ideology (El sublime objeto de la ideología), en el que se apartó de la teoría marxista tradicional para desarrollar una concepción materialista de la ideología que se basó en gran medida en el psicoanálisis lacaniano y el idealismo hegeliano.

En 2012, Foreign Policy incluyó a Žižek en su lista de los 100 mejores pensadores globales, llamándolo una «celebridad filosófica».​ El trabajo de Žižek fue narrado en un documental del año 2005 titulado Zizek!. Una revista académica, el International Journal of Žižek Studies, se fundó para comprender su trabajo.
