Slavoj Zizek and the future of Marxism
Recommend on Google+
If you haven’t heard of Slavoj Zizek he’s a Slovenian philosopher and writer who’s become something of a publishing phenomenon and a public intellectual over the last decade or so. Last night Gavin Esler of Newsnight interviewed him. You may not get much or think much of Zizek’s comments, but it’s worth listening to for Esler’s well put questions - what has Marxism got to offer us in the way of social/political analysis now? So show it to your students and get them
to answer the questions! It’s also fascinating just for the sake of being able to listen to a Slovenian who speaks English with a strong Spanish accent. That’s what comes of moving to Barcelona I guess. Hasta la vista.
