Its a shame that a comvicted sexsual predator is still gets a platform

0:51 I love Slavoj’s extremely subtle reaction after she says “the apotheosis of your week”

Poor Slavoj is going to erode his nose off his face someday.

At @3:00 Zizek' laugh is so cute.

Honestly these are my favorite with her and zizek lol

Something got cut out??

Zizek needs a neti pot.

Hegel's view of infinitisemal calculus made sense only until the subject was reformulated using the then new notion of limits.

Avital is great, I love these videos of her and slavoj faux-bickering

Wow, she's so on point. A rare intellectual

I cannot resist this comment (without a question): intersubjectivity might not be the ultimate horizon, but it is - or appears to be - the ultimate horizon of the debate, wether it is affirmed, negated or repeated. (Inter)subjectivity is undeniably the problem of modernity (i.e. capitalism), thus proving that the 'social process of production' is not just one more 'positivity' that would explain all which is transcendental, like 'objectivity' in Feuerbach or 'will' in Schopenhauer, and so on, but the 'real' that determines a series of displacements of its own, that is, the 'real' that determines 'ideological production' and thus the 'ideological unconscious' of a given historical conjuncture, and so on. Just as in other historical conjunctures, the Master/slave relationship, or the feudal Lord/serf relationship, capitalism's subject/subject relationship also determines every single word and every single lived experience at the ideological level - not that I am denying the 'pulsional/libidinal' unconscious, I'm only saying that the latter can only be expressed (outside madness) through the 'ideological' one. The 'social' in this sense is the (practical) 'material objectivity' which only Marx saw and Feuerbach was blind to see.

>video is titled Part 1: Introduction >dumbshits complain that it's mostly an introduction why and how

Hegel couldn't see Hegel in Hegel and so on and so on.

That's the most boring woman i've ever seen!

Only through endless repetition of genes it can born something new ( variation)

Playing with languages? "Yeah but...." on Slovenian, Serbian, Croatian means: "fucking!"

Let's take a moment to reflect on how hilarious this situation is

This is the best intro Zizek has ever received. Hilarious. So un-American. You can tell its for the German Dept. because of the lack of sanctimonious crap.

I just don't understand how they got Ronell and Zizek in the same room

Why all the Avital Ronell hate? I think she's pretty cool, her books anyway, and some of her ideas are really interesting.

stop dissing avital ronell

Very annoying introduction - who is this woman and why is she babbling on and on?

You realize when he is saying "uh" he is probably trying to think of the right word in english, given that he speaks fluently "Slovene, English, Serbo-Croatian, French and German". (Wikipedia)

I cant hate her more

!!!!THIS IS WHY I WAS RIGHT!!!!

your dirty mind bets that.....

Prof. Ronell is hilarious!

I think this kind of thing happens a bit too much in Zizek's lectures to be a coincidence, so that each time we can conveniently put this in the shoes of the other person who is being put down as being a big meany to that easy going funny man Zizek... I mean really. He is constantly calling her a bitch in front of a full college classroom. Let's at least not pretend that we saw her pick a fight with him because it was obviously going on before the lecture started.

I just thought of a very nice term for this attitude of Slavoj with which he frames his lectures. I would like to corner for this the term "irony curtain". It's when a front of irony is used, much in the way Lacan describes the joke to work as an operator between two discourses, to conveniently shift the appearance from being behind an iron curtain to an ivory tower and back, whichever is strategically most convenient for avoiding the opposition.

I think Zizek should stop doing this, it is simply not helping whatever cause there is to be helped. He should just man up and not hide behind these make believe self referential paradox irony charades and just have a fucking dialogue for once. Not in the least because its so counter to his ethos of frankness in discourse. It's just as simple as that, all the rest is pretentious metaphysical hysteria. This is coming from someone who considers Zizek one of the foremost philosophers of the moment.

he is modest?

persephone kasnoff !

oh stfu

I like the way introduction depicts Negativity in human relations. Brilliant introduction.

What was it Zizek says Ronell believed in? 5:56-6:00??

Jeez, Das Bitch, stfu.

zizek is wrong about hegel's inability to think 'non-productive repetition'... at the level of what hegel calls 'life' there is only non-productive repetition, in itself life doesnt reach beyond itself as subject, it is not yet for itself.. -- you can find it in the phenomenology, the section that precedes desire and recognition, and specifically in his philosophy of nature, part 2 of the encyclopedia, where he deals with plant nature.

2:47 Moliere reference lel

Jesus that woman is annoying.

Skip to Zizek button 6:47

cool thx. gotta read him sometimes. i started to once. i'm reading spinoza right now. :)

9:20 "jebat"))))))

Das Bitch)))

Technically, according to Kant, "negation" is a Category. Which is why we can't define it. Just saying.

5:00 Cool joke about Hell. :D

She is great.

she is funny, Ibiza dreams rule!!!

This lady is suffering, terribly. lol

Sometimes I think Zizek is our greatest genius. Other times, I think he is a postmodern Rasputin here to deceive the world.

I couldn't care less about that question.
