Growing Up...and Grieving - Coping with Loss and Change (Paperback) - Marge Eaton Heegaard Product Description
Zizek takes on the relations between fantasy and ideology, and the deluge of pseudo-concrete images surrounding us.
Modern audiovisual media have spawned a 'plague of fantasies', electronically inspired phantasms that cloud the ability to reason and prevent a true understanding of a world increasingly dominated by abstractions—whether those of digital technology or the speculative market.
Into this arena, enters Zizek: equipped with an agile wit and the skills of a prodigious scholar, he confidently ranges among a dazzling array of cultural references—explicating Robert Schumann as deftly as he does John Carpenter—to demonstrate how the modern condition blinds us to the ideological basis of our lives.
