內容簡介

最具活力的哲學家與文化研究學者齊澤克(Slavoj Žižek),第一本奠定其名聲的英文著作。

「文化理論界的貓王。」--《高等教育紀事報》(Chronicle of Higher Education)

「齊澤克是個認為沒有什麼事在他研究領域之外的思想家,其結果是深度趣味又引人思考。」--《衛報》(The Guardian)

「齊澤克將社會與文化現象理論化,是個不把所有事都視為理所當然的觀察大師。」--《紐約客雜誌》(New Yorker)

西方世界研究"意識形態"(Ideology)的概念史始於18世紀,自此不少學者對它的作用機制都有各自的看法,齊澤克當然也不例外。在本書中,他不僅將重要學者研究意識形態的脈絡做了評析,在這個基礎上,更建立了自身有別於先前學者對"意識形態"的看法。他援引了歐陸哲學與心理分析的思維,來解釋當代社會的種種現象;也用電影、小說等大眾文化或歷史事件,將深奧晦澀的哲學與精神分析理論變得平易近人。例如:他用鐵達尼號的沉沒事件,解釋了何謂"崇高的客體"(Sublime Object)。

齊澤克是著名的雜食學者,艱深的學術理論,電影或小說中的橋段,甚至黃色笑話,可以同時出現在一篇文章裡。在本書中,他可以把《傲慢與偏見》比擬為黑格爾的《邏輯學》,也可以把拉岡的精神分析理論應用在其他的學術範疇。有人說本書是拉岡精神分析的入門書,也有人認為齊澤克的博學與不按牌理出牌的寫作風格,使得讀他的書,如墜五里霧中。不管說法如何,讀齊澤克好比走在幽暗的山谷裡,一旦理出頭緒,便能抵達山頂看見太陽,回頭一看,發現原先困住自己的山谷竟有如此美麗的風景。

Slavoj Zizek, the maverick philosopher, author of over 30 books, acclaimed as the "Elvis of cultural theory," and today's most controversial public intellectual. His work traverses the fields of philosophy, psychoanalysis, theology, history and political theory, taking in film, popular culture, literature and jokes all to provide acute analyses of the complexities of contemporary ideology as well as a serious and sophisticated philosophy. His recent films The Pervert's Guide to the Cinema and Zizek! reveal a theorist at the peak of his powers and a skilled communicator. Now Verso is making his classic titles, each of which stand as a core of his ever-expanding life's work, available as new editions. Each is beautifully re-packaged, including new introductions from Zizek himself. Simply put, they are the essential texts for understanding Zizek's thought and thus cornerstones of contemporary philosophy.
