Slavoj Žižek

[Zanick]

I admit that I haven't quite delved into critical theory, but he often endorses a psychoanalytic analysis of culture, which agrees with my sensibilities and interests, and besides this is hugely entertaining. I've see The Pervert's Guide To Ideology many times, sober, stoned or otherwise inebriated and loved it more with each viewing.

Is anybody a fan? I really need to read something of his, but I don't know where to begin.

He's the darling of champagne socialists all over the world; the Guardian adores him. They quote him rather than Russell Brand when they're trying to sound intellectual. The best thing is to put him in a box and let him quietly masturbate to his own convoluted thoughts.
