Synopsis
Interrogating the Real is the first volume of the collected writings of Slavoj Ž iž ek--undoubtedly one of the world's leading contemporary cultural commentators. Drawing upon the full range of his prolific output, the articles here cover psychoanalysis, philosophy, and popular culture. These essays not only reflect the remarkable breadth and depth of Ž iž ek's interest in politics, culture, and philosophy, but also showcase his sometimes controversial, but always entertaining style. Over the course of the collection, a full and clear sense of Ž iž ekian philosophy emerges. At the same time, Ž iž ek's witty and accessible approach to his subject matter remains constant throughout, and his choice of exemplars from pop culture ensures that this is a consistently fresh and surprising body of work. Thematically organized, the book includes a new preface by Ž iž ek himself, as well as an introduction by the editors and a helpful glossary. This collection, along with the second volume--The Universal Exception--is an excellent introduction to the work of one of the most inspiring, provocative, and entertaining cultural critics at work today.
