Subject: [D-G] NEW TITLE: The Essential Zizek


NEW TITLE: The Essential Zizek

SLAVOJ ZIZEK

Slavoj Zizek: maverick philosopher, author of over 30 books and 
today=B9s most controversial public intellectual. His work traverses 
the fields of philosophy, psychoanalysis, theology, history and 
political theory, taking in film, popular culture, literature and 
jokes, providing an acute analysis of the complexities of 
contemporary ideology as well as a serious and sophisticated 
philosophy.

Now Verso are making four of his classic titles that stand as the 
core of his life=B9s work available as new editions, including new 
introductions from Zizek. They are the essential texts for 
understanding Zizek=B9s thought and cornerstones of contemporary 
philosophy.


THE FRAGILE ABSOLUTE: OR WHY IS THE CHRISTIAN LEGACY WORTH FIGHTING FOR?

First published in 2001, but still timely, Zizek=B9s defence of the 
revolutionary core of the Christian legacy marked the beginning of 
his long standing engagement with theology.


THE TICKLISH SUBJECT: THE ABSENT CENTRE OF POLITICAL ONTOLOGY

A systematic exposition of the foundations of Zizek=B9s philosophy and 
a detailed and rigorous confrontation with the predominant notions of 
the subject.


THE PLAGUE OF FANTASIES

Zizek explores the role of fantasy in the proliferation of audiovisual media.


THE SUBLIME OBJECT OF IDEOLOGY

His first book in English from 1989 remains his bestselling and most 
influential. An incendiary and original examination of human agency 
and its relationship to ideology.


SLAVOJ ZIZEK is a professor at the European Graduate School, 
International Director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, 
Birkbeck College, University of London and a senior researcher at the 
Institute of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
