Alright, welcome back to Žižek & So On, this week continues our NEW SERIES on the systematic aspects of Žižek’s thought as we work through some of his foundational texts together.

To follow along with the series head over to our PATREON where you can listen to all our other interviews, episodes, and SHORT SESSIONS!

In this episode we’re taking a look at Žižek’s work on race, racism, anti-racism, concrete universality, and symbolic suicide through the work of Zahi Zalloua and we’re joined by Tim Bryar and Dimitri.

The European Graduate School are running a Leading Thinkers Course on Žižek with Frank Ruda, Mladen Dolar, Adrian Johnston, Robert Pfaller, Zahi Zalloua, Dany Nobus, Alenka Zupančič, Berta Perez, and at the end Žižek…on…himself….so we’re going to be doing these episodes alongside the course.

Up next we have an episode on some of Žižek’s earliest work from way back in 1968, twenty years before the publication the Sublime Object of Ideology, and his Masters Thesis from 1976 Znak, Označitelj, Pismo which we take a look at with the help of Mladen Dolar.

See you in Paris,

Ž&…
