Subject: zizek's deleuze - hegelian buggery


ok, enter spinoza, kant and hegel - i'll skip this section for the
reasons of summarizing, only one comment - zizek points out the
ultimate point of the book - "why should we not risk the act of
taking from behind deleuze himself and engage in the practice of the
hegelian buggery of deleuze"? there are *subterranean* links between
deleuze and hegel which are an interesting topic of discussion in
itself. what is the basic hegelian motif in deleuze? it is "his
reversal of the standard relationship between a problem and its
solution(s), his affirmation of an irreducible excess of the problem
over its solution(s) which is the same as the excess of the virtual
over its actualizations" (p.55) (cf. p.4 on transcendental being
RICHER) - thus hegelian lesson that deleuze is not willing to accept
is that "immanence generates the specter of transcendence" (p.61)
again skipping sections to arrive at the final death of the subject -
"subject names the unique space of the explotion of virutality within
constituted reality" (p.68) what does this disappearance of the
unified self-conscious subject mean politically?  remember two
ontologies - the ontology of productive Becoming is "secretly
anchored in a unified Subject" (p.72) but if the subject is gone,
then, zizek seems to argue that we should what are the political
consequences of deleuze's second ontology. sorry, again skipping the
section on lacan.
