Slavoj Zizek : A Critical Introduction

Slavoj Zizek: A Critical Introduction shows the reader a clear path through the twists and turns of Zizek´s writings. Ian Parker takes Zizek´s treatment of Hegel, Lacan and Marx in turn and outlines and assesses Zizek´s interpretation and extension of these thinkers´ theories. While Parker is never hastily dismissive of Zizek´s innovations, he remains critical throughout, aware that the energy of Zizek´s writing can be bewitching and beguiling as well as engaging and profound.
