The Minimal Event: Subjective Destitution in Shakespeare and Beckett/Slavoj iek. Index. This work demonstrates the importance of Slavoj iek to literary criticism and theory. The contributors show how iek's practice of reading theory and literature through one another allows him to critique, complicate, and advance the understanding of Lacanian sychoanalysis and German Idealism, resulting in a rethinking of historicity and universality. His methodology has implications in the analysis of literature across historical periods, nationalities, and genres and can enrich theoretical frameworks ranging from aesthetics, semiotics, and psychoanalysis to feminism, historicism, postcolonialism, and ecocriticism. The contributors also offer iekian interpretations of a wide variety of texts including Geoffrey Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde and Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. There is alsoan essay by iek on subjectivity in Shakespeare and Beckett. This bookaffirms iek's value to literary studies and also offers a rigorous model of iekian criticism. (jacket).
