Slavoj Žižek is an (in)famous cultural theorist, philosopher,
psychoanalytical tour de force. Referred to as the "Elvis of Cultural
Theory" and "The Marx Brother" he charismatically and provocatively
examines popular culture using the unlikely pairing of German idealist
philosophy and French psychoanalysis.
Author of numerous books, and the star of his own movie, Žižek! (Dir.
Astra Taylor 2005) and the Channel 4 TV Series The Pervert's Guide To
Cinema, Žižek combines great intellect with a passionate delivery
style and regularly draws huge audiences at prestigious venues across
the world.
On Tuesday March 18th, he is talking at the University of Leeds about
his latest book Violence (Profile Books 2008)
Admission to the event is free - all are welcome!
