Synopsis "Irak. La Tetera Prestada (in Spanish)"

editorial losada, s.l., tapa blanda, 13x20 cms, 248 páginasmateria: cuestiones sociales y culturales. política social., fecha publicación: 06/2006La crítica al capitalismo posmoderno, la necesidad de refundar la izquierda y la exigencia de una nueva ética (...) centran las reflexiones de un autor torrencial e irónico que utiliza todas las herramientas a su alcance: de Marx a Lacan, pasando por los chistes, el cristianismo o el cine.Incisivo, penetrante, pluridisciplinar, Zizek propone lecturas socio-políticas inesperadas ("quizá esta guerra entre Estados Unidos e Irak haya sido la primera guerra entre Estados Unidos y Europa"), denuncia la aparición de los nuevos muros del siglo xxi, traza paralelismos radicalmente originales entre la narrativa política del momento y la tragedia griega y llama a sus lectores a una revolución capaz de "redefinir las reglas y los contornos del orden existente", capaz en suma de "practicar la utopía".

Slavoj Žižek (Ljubljana, March 21, 1949) is a Slovenian philosopher, psychoanalyst, and cultural critic. He is the international director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities at the University of London. He teaches continental philosophy, psychoanalysis, political theory, cultural studies, film criticism, Marxism, Hegelianism, and theology.

In 1989, Žižek published his first text in English, The Sublime Object of Ideology, in which he moved away from traditional Marxist theory to develop a materialist conception of ideology that heavily relied on Lacanian psychoanalysis and Hegelian idealism.

In 2012, Foreign Policy included Žižek in its list of the top 100 global thinkers, calling him a "philosophical celebrity." Žižek's work was featured in a 2005 documentary titled Zizek!. An academic journal, the International Journal of Žižek Studies, was founded to understand his work.
