Event description
Public Lecture. - Slavoj Žižek - A reply to my critics
Although most of the critiques to which my work was exposed
in the last years are “so-called,” fast denunciations not worthy of a serious
reply, some of them do at least raise pertinent questions : which, exactly, is
the status of violence in social life, and how can one justify resort to it? Is
in our societies a radical social change – not just a revolt but the imposition
of a new order - objectively possible? What is materialism today,
beyond the usual versions of deconstructionist discursive materialism, Deleuzian
“new materialism,” and scientific naturalism? And, last but not least, what
immanent role do jokes play in theory?
This event is now fully booked with a long waiting list
