Slavoj Zizek: The Reality of the Virtual

Slavoj Zizek: The Reality of the Virtual 2004 Directed by Ben Wright Slavoj Žižek: The Reality of the Virtual

A cinematic experience of Žižek's interpretations of reality and virtual reality.

In this tour de force filmed lecture, Slavoj Žižek lucidly and compellingly reflects on belief - which takes him from Father Christmas to democracy - and on the various forms that belief takes, drawing on Lacanian categories of thought. In a radical dismissal of todays so called post-political era, he mobilizes the paradox of universal truth urging us to dare to enact the impossible. It is a characteristic virtuoso performance, moving promiscuously from subject to subject but keeping the larger argument in view.
