slavoj zizek

  • Yesterday's Slavoj Žižek article led me to a few more intersting links. First, there's the trailer for Žižek!, a documentary following the eponymous philosopher during his lecture circuit, with a soundtrack by the excellent one-man band A Hawk and a Hacksaw. (I saw AHAAH's live show a year ago, and it was awesome.) Second, there's a fascinating New Yorker profile of Žižek. (via ss) (1) #

  • Political philosopher Slavoj Žižek on the historical meaning of 9/11.
    As President Bush said after September 11, America is in a state of war. But the problem is that the US is not in a state of war. For the large majority, daily life goes on and war remains the business of state agencies. The distinction between the state of war and peace is blurred. We are entering a time in which a state of peace itself can be at the same time a state of emergency.
