Lecture at Babylon in Berlin during LUBITSCH FROM BERLIN, the first international conference on Lubitsch in germany

This lecture was the keynote at the Lack II conference organised at Colorado College, delivered at Celeste Theatre

The talk was a part of the project “Central Eastern Europe. Transformation – Integration – Revolution“ in Warsaw

In an interview with the german newspaper Neues Deutschland, Žižek talks about DDR-pornography, #metoo, the new blade runner movie and robots.

The first question he was asked is in german and was “You introduced the term disparities. Does Wolfgang Fritz Haug now have to rewrite his historical-critical dictionary of marxism?”

Maulwurf means mole

Žižek appeared alongside Alenka Zupančič and Mladen Dolar to discuss the varying topics from philosophy and psychoanalysis to Trump and the Soviet Revolution

International conference “1917/2017. Revolutions, Communist Legacies and the Spectres of the Future” October 24-26.10.2017

The School of Law and the Birkbeck Institute of the Humanities are very pleased to announce this historic event, featuring two of Europe’s foremost intellectuals in conversation with each other on their recent work. While Slavoj Žižek is a regular presence at Birkbeck, this will be Jean-Claude Milner’s only second visit here and the first time that the two philosophers will address each other’s work in front of a public audience.

Masterclass: Masterclass: Transcendental Subjectivity, Sexual Difference, Brain Sciences Part 2. The two classes will examine how Lacan’s teaching enables us to grasp sexual difference as the constitutive feature of transcendental subjectivity, plus how recent advances in brain sciences continue to rely on transcendental presuppositions. The question to be discussed is: how will the new results of brain sciences, as well as the digitalization of our lives, affect subjectivity, especially in its political dimension?
