I love this guy for one reason: he is simple in his complexity of thinking and very humane in his talking with interviewers, not a typical professor, as he shows after he tells to the interviewer that he doesn't like to be called professor.

Compliments on the interviewer. As much as I love Slavoj he have a tendency to suffocate other people in interviews. So to be in the strictest sense somewhat impolite and talk over him in order to get to the point of the questions without getting interrupted really helped create an interesting interview.

This is probably my favorite interview of Žižek yet.

One of the the clearest and most lucid interviews with him (at least in my opinion). Even if you don't like Zizek you have to admit that he makes some very interesting and reasonable points. (I also especially liked the point about writing about/engaging with thinkers. The ones who have read all of their work vs. the ones who didn't et cetera...)

Wow. It seems like Slavoj was actually really hurt by what Noam Chomsky said about him. I never realised. It's kind of sad.

Great first question! I agree with Zizek on how to talk about books you haven't read. In a English literature class (university) we had to read a book and the exam was orally in groups. I read maybe a fifth of the book and got the highest grade. I thought that the book was so boring and predictable that given the context of the subject we discussed during classes I could get a good gist of it and, due to being a oral group exam, I could fill in the blanks from what others said to strengthen my points. I used to think that it's just the author and the work that is predictable, but Zizek does make a point about the focusing on one point and disregarding the rest. I remember having to do another analysis, this time in writing individually, and my theory about the text was a psycho-sexual BDSM drama between an abbess and a nun. I thought I had good arguments, since I only had the text and no other context for it to analyze it through. My teacher's response was "intelligent and imaginative, but totally wrong from the established consensus of the text's meaning". I've had several other experiences like that. Just read a fraction and reiterate and expand on the obvious and get good grades, or read the whole thing and come up with logically and thematically sound theories but that don't fit into the consensus and fail the task.

I hear all of the secret agents running emergency sirens and jackhammers over Zizek's ideas trying to prevent us from hearing them, but it didn't work, thankfully.

Zizek's mind is like a thousand 3-dimensional pinball machines.

34:10 the salient question. . . ? "The status of appearance". . .

That we might better summarize a book without actually reading it. Similar to how we may better understand words, without necessarily reading their definitions in the dictionary.

What is the book he refers to? The one about being an Intro to philosophy with the video game example. Anyone?
