A trailer for a nonexistent TV show by Srecko Horvat. Zizek on Fukuyama, Eco, Cohn-Bendit, Oz, Butler, Sloterdijk, Klein and Levy. Ljubljana, 5 September 2012
His in his own home in this video, safe and known space, speaking his native* language (his native is slovenian but serbo-croatian is his 2nd native language)
I'm Italian and I don't know why is it so weird to listen him talking about Umberto Eco... I knew he was a bright author and intellectual, but I just can't realise how famous he still is outside Italy. This tells you how distorted is our own narration. I could tell you a dozen of names that here in Italy were considered as bright as him, none of them truly deserved it and none of them, I strong suspect, is known abroad. Also, not all his novels are that boring. Not all them...
He is a lot less jumpy/ticks less when he's speaking Serbo-Croat or Slovene, though. But still, seemingly no matter the language the mannerisms of Zizek are fantastically constant.
@@wlrlel And? You can say the same for the person in the video when he says "they get bad later on". It is just his opinion 🤷. Am I not allowed to share my opinion on youtube?
@@v.f. Of course you are allowed to share your opinion. They too are allowed to criticize our opinion and then we in turn are allowed to not give two shits about them. Let the haters hate, my friend.
Just updating this video: francis fukuyama retracted his statement from his 1992 book about liberal democracy and said that the world needs socialism more than ever in his most recent appearance
Volim Zizeka i kad prica na onom svom staljinovskom engleskom, ali jos vise se psihoseksualno nadrazim kada nadjem nesto dobro na ovom nasem, trenutno neimenovanom jeziku. (Ja preporucujem naziv raspalo-jugosl(o/a)venski.)
Волим многе његове идеје. Такође, након свих ових година, слушајући некога да говори славни језик, враћа ме када сам дете као што слушам моје баке и деде, тако је на неки начин шармантан.
Once upon a time there were 22 milion people who could understand this language. Now you have official Croatian that is being constantly changed so that everyday people just feel stupid while listening to politicians and tv personalities so they can’t grasp what is really going on in last 30 years. Then you have official Serbian that is in today’s world using more and more kyrilic so that an average Jovo and Jeca gets more separated from the Croatians and rest of the Europe. Then there is Bosnian language. That I discovered just few years back as Google translate suggested it when I was translating some English word to Croatian. I don’t know what is Bosnian and who needs it? Actually I firmly belive that all of these languages will disappear in next 150-200 years. If someone reads this and gets emotional, you are part of the problem. These countries were doomed to split apart as soon as they were put together. People are uneducated and the establishment has it very easy to disrupt them. The subject in these countries is not should we have psychology classes in other schools except gymnasiums and medical schools, but is 70 hours of religion per year enough or should we put some more. Anyway, I just wanted to say something but then I kinda got pissed off and now I realize that I could spend a day writing about whats really going on and why people suffer, but no one really cares. Humanity is so weak. We dont deserve this beauty around us, because we dont even see it, yet destroy it. Panem et circenses & Divide et impera. These 6 words rule the world. Nationalities, religions, sport clubs... all bullshit. Have a nice day you filthy animal.
Kao odgovor na problem uvijek je potrebno ponuditi bolje i adekvatno pitanje. Takva otvorenost prema problemu će prioritetno pratiti ljudski rod u vijeke i predstavlja kvalitetniji dijalog sa samim sobom a kao posljedica i sa drugima. To je srž filozofije.
Is the maestro speaking Slovenian?! Interesting to listen to this staccato form of delivery in contrast to his treatment of English/German/French/Russian. And the professor is wearing short shorts -- and that, in the language of now, is cool, very cool.
@Facundo Carrizo he's slovenian, and saying czech is similar to croatian is about the same as saying german is similar to english because they are both germanic languages.
Umberto eco does 3 things: -He writes about semiotics, and does his job with great risults. -He writes best sellers, more or less universally beloved. -He writes essays, wich are for hobby. Obviously they are the best party of his work. Sure.
Foucaults' Pendulum was good because the background and assumed knowledge made me feel smarter than I probably am. The excerpts from historical works at the head of each chapter were really enjoyable. His columns for newspapers never grabbed me.
there are only two short excerpts published from this interview, you can find the other one on youtube by searching: "slavoj zizek leninist love". enjoy!
The one i dont get is Sloterdijk, who as far as i know is a leftist/anti-capitalist (at least his works are very critical of capital). How is he conservative?
The theory of ideological reason and cause is like analyzing a swarm of birds. Once you understand the simple functionality of it, all interpretations of occurring outcomes are obsolete. Humans have nothing to do with philosophies, ideologies or any other form of systematic order other than to use it as a label. We are a species like any other, with little to distinguish from any other on the planet. Besides resources, geographic movement, diseases and violent conflicts there would be no ideologies or philosophies existing to be observed from a greater perspective. Humans have got to come to peace with there own nature, there is no world to be saved and no civilization to create. It’s hard to swallow but all efforts are useless since we are not guilty of anything and don’t need better ourself. We have to overcome morality and systematic thinking and the insanity of even coping with something like a „worldview“. We are simple wonderful creatures, destined to live in small communities. Anything more is driving us nuts, period. Good luck analyzing something that is virtually non existent.
What's the contribution to society of this guy? I see it all over internet and really I don't know if people take him seriously or if it's all for the memes
Try to read one of his books (especially on ideology, or his interpretation of Hegel and Lacan), then you'll possibly understand that you probably cannot even grasp his contribution. Guy wrote more than 100 books and 1000 papers, all of them published in prestigious journals and publishers...
Butler "merely describes the existing order".. and Zizek says, at the end, that the important is not to propose solutions, "but to pose a more adequate question". Oh my.. if you don't consider the questions Butler put throughout her work as "adequate", I don't know what "adequate" means!
he's slovenian, even though italian and slovenian are extremely different languages the phonetics and pronounciation are almost the same, i can tell you because i'm an italian living on the slovenian border
Slavoj Zizek: 1. He shouldn't try to theorize about current events of the arab revolution if he hasn't even got the basics. 2. He should think about "what does it mean to be a revolutionary today" all over again.
Zizek on Bernard Henry Levy - "after we liquidate people like him we can open a discussion about death penalty" ..... look up levy's background and this will seem a bit sinister.
He doesn't touch his nose nearly as often as when he's talking in english in this video
His in his own home in this video, safe and known space, speaking his native* language (his native is slovenian but serbo-croatian is his 2nd native language)
Its more likely that he doesn't have to talk infront a group of people aint a psych but might be a respone by social anxiety
His obsessive compulsive habit is still continuing in this video in the form of him pulling at his shirt with his index and thumb fairly regularly.
He became world known philosopher.
I think at that point you really dont want to change a single thing...
A little bit of superstition
Hahahaha
He seems to do it in public speaking. I watched him cooking in English and he didn't do it once.

I guess that "i tako dalje i tako dalje" means "and so on and so on" in Slovenian, right?
it does mean ETC., but in this video he is speaking croatian, not slovenian
oksimoronko
It's basically the same language, Serbo-croatian, isn't it?
Zacnie prawisz serbo-croatian, not croato-slovenian, that might give you a hint that its not the same
@@zacnieprawisz9171 serbian and croatian are basically the same language, slovenian is different.
@@zacnieprawisz9171 no serbian and croatian are the same languages. But slovenian is different.
That sofa. Today there is at least one of these in every family having once lived behind the Iron Curtain.
Bernard Henry-Levy has been very silent since this came out
Good
false
Not silent enough

i don't know which to read first...Eco or Calvino
@@lacanian1500 Calvino obviously. Eco is a bore, and as Zizek says, runs out of steam easily. Calvino is entertaining, funny, and intellectual.
@M F could you tell the names?
Holds up piece of paper:
“Pineapple on pizza?”
*rants for 3 hours straight*
That would be an epic video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would love a 3 hour rant about the hidden ideology of pineapple pizza tbh.
Sunday lunch at Uncle Slavoj's.
It's crazy how much Serbo-Croatian I understand.
It not crazy how much Serbo-Croatian I don’t understand
Are you Polish?
@@563spaceman Yup.
the subtitles probably help a bit
Same. I speak Russian I can understand like around half.
It's weird hearing him speak in non-english. His mannerisms are exactly the same.
So it feels like I had a stroke and damaged my Wernickes area.
He is a lot less jumpy/ticks less when he's speaking Serbo-Croat or Slovene, though. But still, seemingly no matter the language the mannerisms of Zizek are fantastically constant.
Prijatan čovek, uvek za prljave viceve i tako dalje i tako dalje 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅
Gosh the catchphrase "And so on and so on" is really his!
Umberto Eco's "il nome della rosa" is one of the greatest book i've read
And Foucault's Pendulum is stellar, too. I don't know why Zizek would day that they get bad later on :-(
Well that is your subjective view...which surely doesn't really count (just for you)
@@wlrlel And? You can say the same for the person in the video when he says "they get bad later on". It is just his opinion 🤷. Am I not allowed to share my opinion on youtube?

thanks for your contribution to debate, you thoroughly pointless donkey

@@feigekv You are not truly the intellectual type either with that language you stinky twat. Get fucked. Haha.
probably because he's speaking his native Slovenian
@@treyebillups8602 he's actually speaking serbo-croatian, not slovenian.
In his native tongue you can see he doesn't touch his nose and nose on
He is speaking Croatian here, and his native language is Slovenian.

@@prasantbanerjee8199 most of slovenians from his generation speak serbo-croatian, since it was the most widely used language in former yugoslavia.

So what's the better question????
Zizek in a nutshell right there.
I'm surprised this isn't already a trend on (snif) TikTok or whatever.
Is he speaking Serbian. My wife speaks Serbian and I can understand most of this.
he's Slovenian
Yes he speaks Serbian/Croatian here
@Facundo Carrizo he's slovenian, and saying czech is similar to croatian is about the same as saying german is similar to english because they are both germanic languages.
what about "Slavoj Zizek". would be most interesting.
He can't speak properly and we he can never says anything of note or remotely profound.
@@deldia He can speak properly, he speaks more than three languages too. He just has nervous tics that he can’t control.
"Asks provocative questions but is generally chill with everyone. His dealer has put three kids through college"
Posve se slažem za Umberta, spot on.

The one i dont get is Sloterdijk, who as far as i know is a leftist/anti-capitalist (at least his works are very critical of capital). How is he conservative?
Imagine being followed by a large number of people while saying a pedophile is someone good.
wow. is this simple analysis supposed to dissuade gullible people from interacting with Eco's Novel?
Ive suddenly grown an appetite for Roses...
I thought Name of the Rose was pretty good, maybe he’s referring to his other novels (I haven’t read them)
Well he is wrong only about one thing. Umberto Ecos novels are apsolutely brilliant.
They are at least much better than his essays
English makes Slavoj's nose run
