Zero Point
The essays in Zero Point ask how we distinguish defeat from disaster, and how we confront despair without collapsing into it - questions never more pertinent than the current moment in the wake of electoral victories for authoritarian populists and unceasing news of violent atrocities. The 'zero-point' of the title is ground level, rock bottom, the place to which one retreats and where one regroups. Taken from Vladimir Lenin's 1922 piece 'On Asce…
Tár . À propos du film de Todd Field ( USA , 2022)
Dans son commentaire du film Tár de Todd Field sorti en 2022, l’auteur définit d’un point de vue philosophique la notion de parallaxe et l’utilise pour en camper le personnage principal, une célèbre femme chef d’orchestre et compositeur. Il constate que, tant en raison des différents points de vue depuis lequel il est observé que de ses propres variations ontologiques, ce personnage a été diversement appréhendé par la critique. Selon lui, l’enjeu…
From Freedom to Liberation
Considering the paradoxes of freedom/liberty, the author proposes to correlate freedom and liberty as “abstract” and “concrete freedom” in 9 Hegel. The first involves the ability to do what you want, regardless of social rules and customs; the second is freedom, limited and at the same time supported by a set of social norms. The gap between these concepts constitutes the space of actual freedom, creating a tension between the universality of the…
La renovación conceptual de la conciencia de clase, la revolución y la violencia
One hundred years after the publication of History and Class Consciousness, it is imperative to revisit the classic work of Georg Lukács to discuss the relevance of his ideas in a world where the capitalist mode of production does not cease to show its devastating effects. To do so, we divide the article into two sections. In the first part, we place Lukács’ work in dialogue with that of Hegel and Marx in order to clarify the status of violence a…
Christian Atheism
If we want to be true atheists, do we have to begin with a religious edifice and undermine it from within? Slavoj Žižek has long been a commentator on and critic of Christian theology. His preoccupation with Badiou's concept of 'the event' alongside the Pauline thought of the New Testament has led to a decidedly theological turn in his thinking. Drawing on traditions and subjects as broad as Buddhist thought, dialectical materialism, political su…
Matrix Resurrections, or Jouissance as a Political Factor
Redefinir las causas comunes en las luchas sociales. Un análisis a las antinomias del valor, el trabajo y la subsunción
En el contexto político global contemporáneo, las diversas luchas sociales se están alienando entre sí hasta elpunto de que la ilusión del capitalismo como único sistema socioeconómico posible está difuminando todos los horizontesdel cambio social. En este artículo, trataremos de redefinir las causas comunes de las luchas sociales, demostrando su interseccionalidad e interdependencia. Para ello, nos ocuparemos de una serie de conceptos de la filo…
Le wokisme ou comment continuer à dormir
Le wokisme mérite plus que jamais notre attention critique. Ce phénomène se normalise en effet, il est de plus en plus toléré et la plupart des instances gouvernementales et universitaires le mettent en application. Or l’usage généralisé du pronom « iel » inaugure une vision radicalement nouvelle de l’universalité des êtres humains. Cela équivaut à imposer le neutre comme base universelle pour tous les humains, soit à imposer un nouvel universali…
Interseccionalidades de la izquierda y la derecha en América Latina y Europa. Una exploración de los procesos políticos contemporáneos
El actual auge de nuevos grupos de derecha con una particular combinación de liberalismo económico intransigente y fascismo nacionalista conservador, una especie de liberfascismo, aboga tanto por una estricta apología del mercado capitalista como por la exclusión de aquello que desafíe su modelo en los ámbitos político y cultural. Partiendo del discurso populista que explota el descontento causado por la democracia neoliberal, ganan adeptos y ade…
Global Manifestos for the Twenty-First Century
Freedom
We are all afraid that new dangers pose a threat to our hard-won freedoms, so what deserves attention is precisely the notion of freedom." The concept of freedom is deceptively simple - we think we understand it, but the moment we try and define it we encounter contradictions. In this new philosophical exploration, Slavoj Žižek argues that the experience of true, radical freedom is transient and fragile. Countering the idea of libertarian individ…
Thinking Utopia
After the breakdown of socialist and communist systems in the East, it had become fashionable to declare the so-called "end of utopia" ("end of history," "end of narratives"). The authors of this volume do not share this view but think that it is time to rehabilitate utopian thought. The political concept of Utopia that has given its name to these transcendental projections onto the world has been too narrow to describe and analyze the moving for…
Returning to the Past to Rethink Socio-Political Antagonisms
This article seeks to elaborate a map or cartogram based on a number of protests and social mobilizations that took place in different parts of the world -mainly in Latin America, but also in Europe and Asia. Beyond the data and figures available from various sources, which never speak for themselves, an interpretation is proposed here to reveal the meaning of these events. In other words, by displaying a map of these social movements, the author…

Ideology isn’t in the Answer, it’s in the Question

Perhaps more than any other single author, his writings have constituted the most compelling evidence available for recognizing Jacques Lacan as the preemient philosopher of our time.In Tarrying with the Negative, Žižek challen…

The Abyss of Freedom/Ages of the World
In the last decade, F. W. J. von Schelling has emerged as one of the key philosophers of German Idealism, the one who, for the first time, undermined Kant's philosophical revolution and in so doing opened up the way for a viable critique of Hegel. In noted philosopher Slavoj Zizek's view, the main orientations of the post-Hegelian thought, from Kierkegaard and Marx, to Heidegger and today's deconstructionism, were prefigured in Schelling's analys…
For a leftist appropriation of the European legacy
This article focuses on Jacques Ranciére 's opposition between the two facets of the political: the 'police' (maintaining social order) and politiciza‐tion proper (in which an excluded element—demos, 'le troisiéme état, a dissident Forum—asserts itself as the immediate embodiment of the Whole of Society). After analysing different modalities of the 'repression' of this gesture of politicization (from arch‐politics to today's postmodern post‐polit…

The puppet and the dwarf
In The Puppet and the Dwarf Slavoj Zizek offers a close reading of today's religious constellation from the viewpoint of Lacanian psychoanalysis. He critically confronts both predominant versions of today's spirituality - New Age gnosticism and deconstructionist-Levinasian Judaism - and then tries to redeem the "materialist" kernel of Christianity. His reading of Christianity is explicitly political, discerning in the Pauline community of believe…

Eastern Europe’s Republics of Gilead

Rossellini
The miracle of Roberto Rossellini's encounter with Ingrid Bergmanthis true act of grace that stirred his creativity and caused it to take another direction -exemplifies in an almost uncanny way the Lacanian dictum that letter always arrives at its destination.' The background of the story is well-known: in 1947, at the height of her fame as a leading Hollywood star, Ingrid Bergman saw Open City and Paisan, Rossellini's two neorealist masterpieces…

Il fonctionne comme un miroir déformant où ceux-ci puisent une justification à leurs actions. La tragédie yougoslave joue pour l'Europe le rôle d'une métaphore de ce qui pourrait se passer dans l'ex-Union soviétique. Le désir profond de l'Europe est que cesse au plutôt ce désordre inquiétant.

Gaze and Voice as Love Objects
The gaze entices, inspects, fascinates. The voice hypnotizes, seduces, disarms. Are gaze and voice part of the relationship we call love . . . or hate? If so, what part? How do they function? This provocative book examines love as the mediating entity in the essential antagonism between the sexes, and gaze and voice as love's medium. The contributors proceed from the Lacanian premise that there is no sexual relationship, that the sexes are in no …

There Is No Sexual Relationship
One of the enigmas of Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelungs concerns the motif usually designated as that of renunciation: this motif is first heard in scene 1 of The Rhinegold, when, answering Alberich's query, Woglinde discloses that nur wer der Minne Macht versagt [only the one who renounces the power of love] can take possession of the gold. This motif is then repeated approximately 20 times, most noticeably toward the end of Act I of The Valkyr…
