Synopsis "The Plague of Fantasies (The Essential Zizek)"

Modern audiovisual media have spawned a 'plague of fantasies', electronically inspired phantasms that cloud the ability to reason and prevent a true understanding of a world increasingly dominated by abstractions--whether those of digital technology or the speculative market. Into this arena, enters Žižek: equipped with an agile wit and the skills of a prodigious scholar, he confidently ranges among a dazzling array of cultural references--explicating Robert Schumann as deftly as he does John Carpenter--to demonstrate how the modern condition blinds us to the ideological basis of our lives.

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.
