ZIZ127 Against the Double Blackmail (20.04.2016) Apr 26, 2016

Show notes

Refugees, Terror and Other Troubles with the Neighbours

In this talk Professor Žižek will talk about his new book, Against the Double Blackmail: Refugees, Terror and Other Troubles with the Neighbours. From within the safety of Europe Žižek argues we face two versions of ideological blackmail – open-door solidarity with refugees and drawbridge-minded protectionism. Both prolong the problem – so, confronted with this double blackmail, we find ourselves back at the great question: what is to be done? The refugee crisis offers to Europe an opportunity: a unique chance to redefine itself. The only way, argues Žižek, to truly get to the heart of one of the greatest and most urgent issues confronting Europe today is to insist on the global solidarity of the exploited and oppressed. Maybe such global solidarity is a utopia. But, he warns, if we don’t engage in it, then we are really lost. And we will deserve to be lost

ZIZ126 Is Surplus-Value Marx’s Name For Surplus-Enjoyment? (19.04.2016) Apr 26, 2016

Show notes

Part 2 of the Masterclass: Surplus-Value, Surplus-Enjoyment, Surplus-Knowledge
Jacques Lacan located the origin of his key notion of plus-de-jouir (surplus-enjoyment) in Marx’s notion of surplus-value, and it is worth exploring in detail the homology of the two notions, adding a third one, that of surplus-knowledge, a pseudo-knowledge in the guise of which our ignorance appears (“supreme” knowledge of God and other hidden forces, conspiracy theories, etc.). Such an analysis is crucial for resuscitating Marx’s critique of political economy, as well as for properly understanding today’s global capitalism and its ideological effects, up to fundamentalist violence
