May 17, 2023 Hegel and the Wound of Spirit
UNLOCKED: Today we're talking Žižek's chapter in his book Absolute Recoil called "The Violence of the Beginning".
The reading begins with the notion that there is "nothing prior to the loss" of the sense of lost origins. Žižek then sets into play the idea of the self-alienation of spirit in the realm of translation to show the original brokenness of God Himself.
We also question who the real James Bond is, hystericize Eliot's Prufrock, and discuss Emmanuel Carrere's novel The Moustache, all the while wondering—if we really meant what we said.
Dig it!

March 22, 2023 Žižek Responds!
Alright, the gang is back and this week we're talking the newly published book "Žižek Responds!" where we focus on Todd McGowan's entry in the collection: "Slavoj Žižek Is Not Violent Enough". Is the violence of the death drive and its self-sabotage the first emancipation that subsequently establishes the pattern for all later political acts of emancipation? Can Will grow a moustache? Does Žižek play classical piano? Stick around to the end to hear the fellas talk about their recent meeting with Žižek, Todd McGowan & Russell Sbriglia.

We've got some very interesting interviews coming up, please support us on Patreon to keep us going!
