Communist, conservative, anti-semantic - Slavoj ae'iae'ek's work attracts a lot of labels, most of them pejorative. Chris McMillan seeks to identify ae'iae'ek's unique and productive contribution to social and political theory, constructing a response to the difficulties of contemporary social theory and the political deadlock of global capitalism.
Good theory; bad politics - this is how Zizek''s works have been described. Now Chris McMillan argues that Zizek''s reading of global capitalism could reinvent political subversion. He highlights the political consequences of Zizek''s fundamental concepts, such as the Lacanian Real, universality and the communist hypothesis. He argues that Zizek''s turn to Communism represents the ultimate significance of Zizek''s work for the 21st century and a marked new direction for Zizekian theory.
While Zizek''s work attracts a lot of labels, most of them pejorative - communist, conservative, anti-semantic - Chris McMillan identifies Zizek''s unique and productive contribution to social and political theory, constructing his work as a response to the difficulties of contemporary social theory and the political deadlock of global capitalism.
