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.
