The Plague of Fantasies by Slavoj Zizek
Explores the relations between fantasy and ideology and the antagonism between the ever greater abstraction of our lives - whether through digitalization or the market - and the deluge of pseudo-concrete images which surround us.
The most formidably brilliant exponent of psychoanalysis, indeed of cultural theory in general, to have emerged from Europe in some decades-- Terry Eagleton
Unafraid of confrontation and with a near limitless grasp of pop symbolism. * Times of London *
Zizek unfolds in this text a theory of the workings of postmodern ideology that is often breathtaking in its scope and acuity. * Postmodern Culture *
