With his philosophical mixture of Hegel’s logic, Hitchcock’s dead bodies and Lacan’s gaps, the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek has swiftly become a notorious "enfant terrible" even outside academic philosphy circles.
His lectures are overwhelming speech perform– ances with an uncertain outcome: with a captiv– ating shamelessness, he offers a magnificant spectacle of tomfoolery, embarrassing moments and provocation - not to mention great insight.
