About the speaker:

Slovene philosopher and cultural theorist whose works addressed themes in psychoanalysis, politics, and popular culture. The broad compass of Žižek’s theorizing, his deliberately provocative style, and his tendency to leaven his works with humour made him a popular figure in the Western intellectual left from the 1990s. He was one of the most prominent public intellectuals of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
