Alright, the podcast is back for a new season. Don’t wake up! This episode we’re talking Alenka Zupanċič’s latest book Disavowal. Father, can't you see that I'm burning? What is disavowal and why does it function differently today?

We’re talking knowing, fear, nightmares, and deception. Catastrophe, serial crisis, immediacy, alienation, and the apocalypse.

Next week we’re talking to Alenka, let us know if you have any questions for us to ask.

Alright, this week the fellas scroll through Slavoj Žižek's new Substack. Tying together three articles, we move from 'tech talk' (Elon Musk, Apple Vision Pro, the profound suffering of microchimpanzees), to a Žižekian theory of sexuality, and finally to the fine art of smoking (and other surplus enjoyments).

NEW EPISODE!
ŽIŽEK & SO ON PODCAST

INHERENT TRANSGRESSION

PREVIEW: www.tinyurl.com/zizekpodcasts

FULL EP: www.patreon.com/zizekandsoon

Or find us on your podcast app!

For this weeks PATREON episode we're talking the inherent transgression of the law. Michael buys tickets for the big apple, Peter is freezing in a field, and Will reviews Stalker and the Third Man.

Please consider supporting us on Patreon for access to extra episodes and the ongoing production of the show!

How do we account for this paradox that the absence of Law universalizes prohibition? There is only one possible explanation: enjoyment itself, which we experience as "transgression", is in its innermost status something imposed, ordered - when we enjoy, we never do it "spontaneously", we always follow a certain injunction. The psychoanalytic name for this obscene injunction, for this obscene call "Enjoy!", is superego.

Enjoy!

We can see clearly here the difference between the Möbius strip and the Klein bottle: in the Möbius strip, we pass from one to the other side of the strip, or from one term to its opposite, while in the Klein bottle, we pass from the hole in the midst of a circular body to the substance of this body itself, i.e., the void returns as the very body that envelops it. Only in this way do we arrive at subjectivity. Why? Subject is pure difference, and it emerges as such when this difference is no longer reduced to a difference between parts of some substantial content.

RUMOURS & GOSSIP

PREVIEW:
www.tinyurl.com/zizekpodcasts

This week the gang are talking Mladen Dolar's "On Rumours, Gossip and Related Matters" from Objective Fictions as we prepare for the big interview!

Mladen Dolar is a Slovenian philosopher, psychoanalyst, cultural theorist, and film critic. He is one third of the Troika with Alenka Zupančič and Slavoj Žižek and the co-founder, together with Slavoj Žižek of the Society for Theoretical Psychoanalysis.

Rumours brought down old mate Socrates and there's one going round that the big Other doesn't exist.

In the beginning there was - not the Word, logos, as in the Bible, not the act, as with Faust - in the beginning, there was a rumour.

Will combats 5G with a Feng Shui mirror, Michael covers his windows in aluminium foil, and Peter defends himself against the metric system.

Enjoy!
