Slavi Žižek addresses these questions in this unique and timely book. Based on live interviews, the book captures Žižek at his best, shedding light on topics such as the Arab Spring uprisings, the global financial crisis, populism in Latin America, the rise of China, and even the enigma of North Korea. Žižek dazzles readers with his analysis of Hollywood movies, Venezuelan police reports, Swedish crime fiction, and much more. Wherever the conversation turns, his energetic mind illuminates unexpected horizons.
While analyzing the current situation, Žižek also examines the possibilities of change. What society is worth striving for? Why is it difficult to imagine alternative social and political arrangements? What are the basics of hope? Žižek says that a key task in our troubled times is to dare to ask fundamental questions: we must rethink and theorize, always ready to rethink and redefine the limits of what is possible. These original and compelling conversations provide an engaging and accessible introduction to one of the most important thinkers of our time.
