Slavoj Žižek is undoubtedly one of the world`s leading cultural critics. His witty, psychoanalytically-inspired analyses of contemporary society have almost single-handedly revived the notion of ideology. His brilliant commentaries on the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan and the 19th century German Idealists have brought alive their often difficult ideas for a new generation of readers. But does Žižek have anything to say in his own right? Is there a system of thought that we can properly call ` Žižekian`? This book argues that there is, through a reading of two terms in his work-the master-signifier and the act. Featuring an interview with Žižek himself, Slavoj Žižek: Live Theory presents a snapshot of the Žižek system ideal for undergraduates in social and cultural theory and philosophy.


`There is no doubt that Butler`s book clarifies philosophical aspects of Zizek`s work in a manner impossible for the writer himself.` - Paula Murphy, International Journal of Baudrillard Studies, January 2006



`...the danger is that philosophers might pick up Live Theory under the assumption that it is an accessible introduction to Zizek and end up dismissing him with Butler`s paradoxical formulations in mind—Zizek is literally psychotic`, Zizek really has `nothing to say`.` — Roderick Nicholls, Philosophy in Review (Negative)
