Žižek: Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, Sex and the Spaces Between

Philosopher, cultural theorist, and film critic Mladen Dolar will host two pillars of modern philosophy to talk about their latest works.
Slavoj Žižek will break down his thinking on "the empty spaces between philosophy, psychoanalysis, and the critique of political economy" laid out in his book "Incontinence of the Void: Economico-Philosophical Spandrels". Alenka Zupančič shares her exploration on what kind satisfaction we get from sex and how it might be replaced with satisfaction from equally sexual activities such as talking or writing, painting or praying. Her new book is titled 'What IS Sex?'

That was an incredible answer to the Trump question, his answer is still going to this day

[@allendish]

YES

[@davidbernalromero6571]

Does Zizek analyse patients? I think not. So he is no psychoanalyst.

[@Stereotype23]

Which he pointed out himself...

[@cooldude-on9gm]

imagine therapy sessions with zizek though lmao

[@gulcehrekurt61]

De0ends on what you call patient

[@TheChewman2001]

Psychoanalysis isn't just being a therapist. It's a framework. He has a PhD in psychoanalysis and is Lacanian. I don't get how he isn't a psychoanalyst.

[@MrMethadrine]

I get so slurry and my mouth full of saliva when i hear him that i have to hold napkins on my hand before i press play.

[@bornaradnik8296]

[@Doppe1ganger]

What a boring set-up. Three friends that aren't engaging in debate. Just a lecture.

[@scottkuhn4026]

It's sad when thinkers have to say they are feminist in order for them to be allowed to speak freely.
And he has become a good capitalist. He writes the same crap over and over again and makes a fortune in the process.

[@LionLeon3]

i think he would like you :D

[@Stereotype23]

If you try and define what a capitalist is you will see that your statement is objectively wrong.

[@scottkuhn4026]

Stereotype23 does bourgeoisie fit better?

[@Stereotype23]

Yes :)

[@nightoftheworld]

Perhaps he’s just demonstrating something.. redundant pop-culture drivel generates good money somehow?
