From the tragedy of 9/11 to the farce of the financial meltdown
Slavoj Zizek is a Slovenian philosopher and cultural critic. He is a professor at the European Graduate School, International Director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, Birkbeck College, University of London, and a sen-ior researcher at the Institute of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. His books include Living in the End Times, First as Tragedy, Then as Farce, Less Than Nothing, six volumes of the Essential Zizek, and many more.
Zizek leaves no social or cultural phenomenon untheorized, and is
master of the counterintuitive observation.

[A] great provocateur and an immensely suggestive and even dashing
writer ... Zizek writes with passion and an aphoristic energy that
is spellbinding.
